One of the cool ramifications of having real multidimensional arrays 
just hit me. We could do something like:

    my GD @array : size(200,200), colordepth(24), format('PNG');


and then treat @array as an image, with each element in the array 
representing a pixel. The stringified version of the array would then 
probably be the image data as written to disk. I suppose the 
full-variable 'assign string' vtable entry could do the 
opposite--take the image data and stuff it into the variable so you 
could treat it as an array.

Hmmm. That could be rather interesting... :)
