[swift] 2D-array is continuos

[Abstract]

 In c/c++ programming, 2D-array is massively used to deal with the large and practical data as like images, video frames, or any kind of scientific ones. When accessing this array, it is too well-introduced to use double-for-statement, but my goal here is to refresh that the array itself in the physical memory space is just continuous.

 Thus in certain cases, it reduces the processing time to make use of this feature. In brief, eliminate one of the for-statement from the double-shell, and make it to calculate the address inside the for-statement to reduce the overhead of iterative assembly-branch-instructions.
