I started looking into this about 2 years ago. Lately I've been doing a
good deal of work with Matlab, and seeing how easy it is to manipulate a
matrix in that language. I'd like to see that sort of ability in VHDL.

The big issue as I see it is synthesis compatibility. You pretty much
can't do this without the ability to infer a memory element. You also
need some sort of trade off between different types of memories.
How would you declare a matrix of X dimensions generically?
