My own feeling is the advantages of full-featured arrays outweigh the
simplicity (but also dangers) of C-style arra

Oh and a final point. We should think carefully before removing the
forms where we pass in a raw pointer and a number of elements. There
are cases where only a raw pointer will do, such as when the array
class doesn't have a size method or the array class uses () instead of
[] for element access. A
I just realised I forgot one thing
There isn't a standard 2D container in C++, so you have to create a
vector of vectors, something like
std::vector> myMatrix;
However a lot of people don't like this as it is generally considered
rather slow. So I think there are lots of other things people use

I'm perhaps less keen on the idea of using the minimum dimension.
Passing unequal sized arrays is clearly and error and so I think we
should flag it is such is the loudest way possible so the user can fix
it. I think the times when I have often got this wrong are off by one
