But this is Python, so why the heck would anybody want to emulate
*C* style?  It could also be written in an assembly-language style,
COBOL style, or a Fortran style...none of which are particularly

Besides, a C-style would allocate a single array of M*N slots and
then calculate 2d offsets into that single array. :-P
