C does have a syntax for multidimensional arrays; how "good" it may be
is purely in the eye of the beholder.  IMHO, it does an adequate job of
doing what it's designed to do.

That's all the C array subscript operator does internally anyway, so you
have thrown away the syntactic sugar and type checking for no real
advantage--and increased the opportunity for bugs.

Do you propose everyone use (*ptr).field instead of ptr->field as well?
