Hi,

Is there some reason shelves are only single-dimensional?  E.g. why one
can't write:

Version 5.3 #41, Sat Nov 24 13:49 2001
[eclipse 1]: shelf_create(foo(bar(1, 2), baz(a, b)), Shelf), shelf_get(Shelf, [1, 2], X).
number expected in shelf_get('SHELF'(16'000d6900), [1, 2], X)
Abort

I know, I can simulate a multi-dimensional shelf, and can even put shelves
in shelves with (apparently) no ill effect, but...  :)

Cheers,
Warwick
