Yes, that works. Indeed, it was exactly the sort of thing I got used to 
doing years ago with the array-processing language APL (but no longer 
had to do once Ken Iverson invented the idea of rank of a "verb").

Still, the method seems "excessive" and perhaps even "sneaky" to me -- 
transposing twice.  And it might be rather inefficient as the matrix 
size grows (although I haven't tested timings).
