Actually, I think the notation is simply wrong.


	// Matrix order testing
	auto x = new int[][][][](1,2,3,4);
	auto y = new int[1][2][][](3,4);

	for(int i = 0; i < 1; i++)
		for(int j = 0; j < 2; j++)
			for(int k = 0; k < 3; k++)
				for(int l = 0; l < 4; l++)	
				{
					x[i][j][k][l] = i*j*k*l;
					//x[l][k][j][i] = i*j*k*l;

					//y[i][j][k][l] = i*j*k*l;
                                         //y[l][k][j][i] = i*j*k*l;
					y[k][l][j][i] = i*j*k*l;
				}


It is inconsistent with dynamic arrays and mixing them creates a 
mess in the order of indices.

I best someone was asleep at the wheel when programming the code 
for static arrays. (probably someone different than who 
programmed the dynamic arrays)

This is a bug IMO.(unfortunately one that can't be fixed ;/)
