A little utility function for dealing with the
matrix-is-really-a-vector indexing duality. (Elemental (1,3) vs linear
#4 indexing)

E.g.,

x <- matrix(rnorm(9), 3, 3)

which.min(x) # Not super helpful

where.min <- function(x) arrayInd(which.min(x), dim(x), dimnames(x), T)

where.min(x) # Perhaps better

Cheers,
Michael
