This is just and API quesiton of how elements of Nx1/1xN matrix

E.g. should one specify one or two arguments to access an element
That kinds sounds like a hassle to me... although there is
already
precedent for it, in that a scalar is distinct from a 1x1
matrix (or a
1-length vector).
Yes, I have the same thoughts. The very high level of API
abstraction may looks no good for end users.
I want to talk to you about how we interact with colours
better... since in that world, a matrix can't just be a grid of
independent storage cells. That will throw some spanners into
the works, and I'd like to think that designs will support a
classy way of expressing images as matrices of pixel data.
Just have replied to your letter.
Thanks,
