If I would support 2D variable array sizes, wouldn't that be more elegant?

The current implementation doesn't support that, but as the commit log for
patch 1/17 says:

"Currently dynamically sized arrays are limited to one dimensional arrays,
but that might change in the future if there is a need for it."

Let me know if you agree, and I'll try to implement this. It's been a while
since I last looked at this, so I'm not sure how much work it is, but it is
probably worth a shot.

Regards,

	Hans
