It's useful in an application where the data dimension is not know when
we create the GOData object. Which is the case for an application I'm
writing.

Even without that, it makes subclassing of GOData much simpler, and
avoid much of the code duplication, which is quite obvious in the
GODataVectorFoo and GODataMatrixFoo classes.

GnmGODataFoo could be merged into a single GnmGOData class.

It also helps to keep things consistent. For example,
go_data_scalar_get_str which returns a const char *, where vector and
matrix variants return char *.

        Emmanuel.
