One problem that immediately jumps out at me is how to do this:

   @a[[@x], [@y]];

That is, dynamically get your indices. The above seems ok when you know
them in advance (at least what variables they're in), but this usually
isn't the case with hardcore matrix manipulation. Having a fixed number
of named indices isn't the norm.
