[Newbies] Best way to implement two-dimensional array

[John Almberg]

Sorry... forgot one other thing... I'd like to be able to initialize  
the table using a literal, like:

#( #(1 4 3)
    #(4 3 6)
    #(9 5 4) )

That would be a real bonus, because the table is quite large and I  
want to be able to 'see' the table in the source code so I can change  
it easily.
