Implement 2-d or n-d Arrays with a simple to use API (as per Vector)

[rzeta0]

Increasing access

I have over 5 years experience teaching young coders (age 7-17) and adults who have never coded before (eg artists) to code with p5js.

I learned about some of the barriers and developed simple.js to make better default choices and also to provide easier to use functions eg circle() and randomNumber().

One of the remaining big barriers is arrays. Javascript doesn't make it easy.

Like Vector, I popose an Array is implemented which makes it easy and uniform to use them.
