In Gambas you can always create an array containing objects of type T
by doing

  Dim a As New T[]

Now, to get a two-dimensional array, make an array of arrays:

  Dim a As New T[][]

You access one object via a[i][j] (_not_ via a[i,j]). And of course
you can add new rows to a and new columns to a given row a[i] as you
normally do with arrays.

Best,
Tobias
