[R] array to data.frame

Of course,  array -> data.frame is trivial for 2-dim arrays aka
matrices.  But Jorge had a 3-dim. array (of a special type,
namely a contingency table!) for which Peter gave the solution.

For most other 3-or-more-dim.arrays, there's no corresponding
data frame structure I can think of.
