I don't think this is quite the right approach. Multidimensional arrays and matrices are about accessing and iteration over data, not data structures themselves. The standard layouts are common special cases.
Yes, I really want to D supports multidimensional arrays, matrices, rational numbers and quaternions.
I believe that Phobos must support some common methods of linear algebra and general mathematics. I have no desire to join D with Fortran libraries :)
Rational numbers and quaternions have already been implemented are:
