  I'm too lazy to check now, but wouldn't dimension_size() return 0 for
dimensions higher than what the array is? (It could also cause an error,
in which case this couldn't be used.)

  A recursive macro can be created to do what you want (once you know the
dimensions of the array). It's not completely trivial to write, but shouldn't
be too difficult either.
