I agree that multi-dimensional array slices should be supported. One of the tenet's of Ada is to leave the implementation of things up to the compiler, because it knows how best to do it, e.g. parameter passing.
I asked about it here, https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.lang.ada/L9XiRrjm3B0/cXfKlQ9-AwAJ and the response was, it's not going to happen due to a slice being a name as Randy mentions, but it's not a request to speed up the assignment, it's just syntactic sugar to aid readability, another of Ada's tenets.
Even the AARM says so here, http://www.ada-auth.org/standards/12aarm/html/AA-4-1-2.html see 8.b.
