Whole language design is still a hypothetical at this point anyways (and my

Ah.  I think that when you've written most of it, you will see that
ruling out arrays of arrays will have not simplifying effect.

Indeed.  I believe (based on no direct experience) that you could write
a fully conforming C compiler without even thinking about
multidimensional arrays, and if you get the array code right,
multidimensional arrays will just work.
