Thanks for the answer. It makes sense, yet when used to
multidimensional arrays as implemented in Java it takes some time
to wrap your head around this.
I believe that the only way to do it would be to create a
struct which wrapped
a single dimensional, dynamic array, and then overloaded
opIndex appropriately
This is a very good suggestion, I hadn't thought of this
possibility, this way I can get my beloved "matrix[x][y];"
instead of something like "matrix.get(x, y);".
