What would be the point in VFP allowing this:

dimension TestArray(2)
TestArray(1) = "ELEMENT A"
TestArray(2) = "ELEMENT B"

? TestArray(1, 1)
? TestArray(2, 1)
? TestArray(3, 1)
? TestArray(4, 1)

It prints:

ELEMENT A
ELEMENT A
ELEMENT A
ELEMENT A

I just ran across it while testing and debugging some code and I was getting strange results. It took me a minute or two to realize I was refering to a one dimensional array with two dimensional syntax because in this code I'm also working with some two dimensional arrays, but I was a little surprised when I found that I could refer to a row that doesn't exist (similar to the sample above). Arrrggh. This would cause an error in other languages.
