I strongly oppose and think it is a really bad idea:
Even if arrays are modelled multi-dimensional, there's always a canonical way
to iterate through their elements, and this is an essential feature of this
data type.
Do you have any example for an existing optimisation that is important enough
to cripple all fixed size arrays?
Those would not only be used to represent pixel buffers on a graphics card…
Also, if FSA have only one dimension (that's still my preference), all those
issues are can be solved easily in the multidimensional structure build on top
of the array.
