I'm not too familiar with OCaml, but afaik one of the appealing features of APL is that it makes it easy to work with multidimensional collections in addition to one dimensional list-like collections (well, "easy" once you can grok the syntax). Do lisp and OCaml have those facilities out-of-the-box too?

No; I am no lisp/ocaml god and not sure what do you mean by easy, but it seems they lack feature you are thinking about.

No - neither Lisp nor OCaml makes looping over collections with an arbitrary number of dimensions implicit.
