Of course, this is trivial topology: any two dimensional infinite
discrete sets can be mapped onto a one dimensional infinite discrete
set.
The problem is not feasibility, is semantics.
when you do something like
lookup(x,y);
you are explicitly keeping the two dimensions separate, when you do
lookup(x+y);
you are actually doing two conceptual things at once
1) (x,y) -> x+y [2-d mapping into 1-d mapping]
2) x+y -> component [1-d mapping into 1-d mapping]
This looks like a hack imposed by a framework constraint that shouldn't
be there.
