Of course, there is another aspect of this issue that Petr raised way 
back, which is the storage of points, i.e., the need for an "x", "y", 
"xhigh", "yhigh", etc.  In some sense, if you know the number of 
columns, i.e., only v[0], v[1], v[2], have meaning, then only those need 
be saved.  The mapping for the meaning of those columns could be held 
off.  Programming the variable stored point elements wouldn't be too 
bad, but I guess the advantage for the current set up is that it 
simplifies the computation for automatic ranging.
