For the case of a table (rank-2 array) you don't have to get items from all the
columns specified for every row. The items you retrieve can be arbitrarily
scattered throughout the array.
So if instead of the items in 2nd,4th and 3rd columns of rows 1 and 2 (<1 2;2 4
3), you only wanted the items in the 2nd and 3rd columns of row 1 and the item
in the 4th column of row 2 you could specify
(1 2;1 3;2 4){i.10 10
12 13 24
The shape of the boxed indexes just determines the shape of the result so:
(2 2$ 1 2;3 9;7 4;2 5){ i.10 10
12 39
74 25
