The preferred way[*] of having dynamic multidimensional arrays is actually
the Integer[][]...[] syntax, one pair of "[]" for each dimension.

If you for some reason cannot possibly bear the [x][y] syntax, you may also
create a distinct class which implements the _get() and _put() special
methods and wrap the arguments for a call to a typical Gambas md-array.

There's actually to be some thought involved in the latter procedure if you
want to handle arbitrary dimensions and I don't know off the top of my head
if it's at all possible. But if you need it, maybe we can do something...

[*] It's preferred for various reasons. If you want to hear some, just ask.
