If Benoit didn't change it (I lost track of all the changes lately due to
exams), multidimensional arrays are static in size. One reason may be
precisely that the choice of a particular dimension to which an Add()
method would add elements is hard to justify.
[ One additional point may be memory consumption: we imagine an n-
dimensional array as an n-dimensional hyperrectangle. If we increment
the size in one dimension, a whole (n-1)-dimensional hyperrectangle has
to be added. ]
Anyway, if you want a refresher on your options regarding arrays in Gambas,
I already wrote about it on this list [0] and even in German [1]. You may
want to use what we call "derived" multidimensional arrays.
