I don't read the spec that way at all.

"Fortunately, D static arrays, while using the same syntax, are implemented
 as a fixed rectangular layout: 
    
   double[3][3] matrix;

 declares a rectangular matrix with 3 rows and 3 columns, all contiguously
 in memory. 

 In other languages, this would be called a multidimensional array and
 be declared as: 

   double matrix[3,3];
"

To me, this is say that D uses the [3][3] syntax but *other* languages use
the [3,3] syntax.
