1. I do not know.

2. A look at the many packages on spatial statistics might reveal some 
already existing packages.

3. Question: Can one cell contain more than one object (e.g. objects of 
two different classes)? Ideas:
  - If "No": sample() and make a matrix
  - If "Yes": sample() a logical matrix in for each class and make an 
array, if there are not too many classes.
