yes, but i think that pd's arrays are not ideal for this, because of 
low-dimensionality.
i really do not like the way [linear_path] et al handle this. It doesn't 
  allow you to interact with the data (like drawing in an array)
Maybe we should extend pd's capabilities to arrays before ?
(i'm not sure, whether the [matrix]-approach of zexy is much better: you 
cannot interact with the data, but at least it is ordered somehow 
meaningful. but it would be nice to have a real multi-dimensional 
structure for numbers)
