Gotcha. Different approaches and all, I expect. I tend to figure out what I 
want and then try and shoehorn it into what I already have. :)

It looks like we need to be able to override operations on arrays, have 
multi-dimensional arrays, and do some rather odd slicing operations that 
give values still linked to the original matrices.

Has anyone asked for complex number support yet?
