Everyone always trots this out when talking about multidimensional array programming in C, but it's effectively useless because it only works for statically declared, fixed-size arrays. Since those never occur when writing real numerical code, the fact that the compiler in this one very particular case can turn x[i][j] into x[i*s+j] for me is essentially useless for any real work with dynamically allocated, variably sized multidimensional arrays.
