I'm working on a dimensioned data class that seems to be a more
general case of what you are looking for. It's a subclass of ndarray,
and contains an attribute which specifies each dimension (this works
for any number of dimensions, not just 2D). This data structure is not
currently in a state where it's useful yet, but this will hopefully
change soon.
