Hey folk! Why does Array2D at:at: and at:at:put: use a coordinate
order reversed from normal mathematical conventions? The first
coordinate is traditionally the matrix row. I just got bitten while
transliterating some cryptology code using matrices. This sort of
difference can cause severe brain hemorrhage.
