Hmm... Right. I don't see how he could do that for non-square matrices 
without allocating a new matrix; if general resizing is implemented, he 
must've used a different storage format (not Type[row*col] either, but 
Type[] with length (row*col) would work). Maybe he was just inaccurate 
with in his answer...
