As to the non-jagged issue, how about some sort of wild card syntax like:

	// legal	
int[$][$] = ![ ![1,2,3], ![4,5,6], ![7,8,9]];

	// illegal	
int[$][$] = ![ ![1], ![4,5], ![7,8,9]];

the "$" would indicate that the length of each sub array must be the 
same. Read it something like "an array of ints that is some length by 
some length."
