I bet this would cover 98% of all use cases ( Qt is a 2D toolkit ) and 
usually it doesn't need to have any maths. The motivation of such a class 
is simply that you can build better APIs when you can copy implicitly 
shared 2D Arrays and access them with row, column indexes.

Of course that doesn't mean, that the other 2% are not important enough 
to have another container like yours.
