I have to pass a 2-dimensional array as an input parameter to a COM method.
Neither dimension is known at compile time.  The interface is derived from
IUnknown.  The clients will be written in C++ & VB.  I already have dynamic
1-dimensional arrays working in both C++ & VB.  But I haven't been able to find
any way to specify a dynamic 2-dimensional array in the .IDL file.  I can, of
course, convert it to a 1-dimensional array as far as COM is concerned.  But I'd
rather keep it as 2-dimensional, if possible, to keep the code more readable,
etc.

Any ideas?
