You can kind-of do this in SDL, but only if you use arrays of arrays instead of
multi-dimensional arrays. So, instead of

#declare A = array[3][2];

use

#declare A = array[3];
#for (I, 0, 2)
 #declare A[I] = array[2];
#end

which may or may not be more trouble depending on how you're populating the
arrays. However, it is indexed in exactly the same way - A[I][J] - and you can
indeed reference A[I] as an array[2].
