Consider:

        > x <- array(1:12,dim=12)
        > x[13]
        [1] NA]
        > m <- array(1:12,dim=c(3,4))
        > m[3,5]
        Error: subscript out of bounds

Can anyone tell me it there is a Good Reason for the difference in behaviour between 1 dimensional and higher dimensional arrays? In a bit of code that I was working on I expected the NA behaviour and didn't get it of course. Then
I had to take evasive action to avoid the error.

Naive young thing that I am, I would prefer the NA behaviour to be universal.
But I expect that, as usual, I'm overlooking something.

        cheers,

                Rolf Turner
