    > the absence of multidemensional arrays in C.

?? From the 'C Reference Manual' (no date, but circa 'Typesetter C'), pg. 11:

  "If the unadorned declarator D would specify an n-dimensional array .. then
  the declarator D[in+1] yields an (n+1)-dimensional array"

I'm not sure if I've _ever_ used one, but they are there.
