Probably units moreso. internally_inches[4:6, 8:10, unit="meters"] = [[4, 2], [1, 3]] # Stores [[157.48, ...], [..., ...]] in block internally_cm[4:6, 8:10, unit="metres"] = [[4, 2], [1, 3]] # apparently allow two spellings del internally_inches[1, unit="furlong"] # Delete one row, unit ignored -- The dead increasingly dominate and strangle both the living and the not-yet born.
