I agree completely.  However the following code:

>       float   array[SIZE][SIZE];
>       int     i,j;
> 
>       /* initialize the whole thing to zero, then to this: */
>       for(i=0,j=0; i<SIZE; i++, j++)
>               array[i][j] = 0;

creates the following matrix:

      0     garbage garbage garbage ... garbage
    garbage    0    garbage garbage ... garbage
    garbage garbage    0    garbage ... garbage
      .        .       .       .    ...    .
      :        :       :       :    :::    .
    garbage garbage garbage garbage ...    0

...which is not precisely what I wanted.
