Doing it the other way round would give a different obvious violation
of the principle of least confusion. Taking one of my original examples,

 > tbl.Data = ((y for y in range(10*x,10*x + 10)) for x in range(10))

 > tbl.Data
((0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0),
  (10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0, 15.0, 16.0, 17.0, 18.0, 19.0),
  (20.0, 21.0, 22.0, 23.0, 24.0, 25.0, 26.0, 27.0, 28.0, 29.0),
  (30.0, 31.0, 32.0, 33.0, 34.0, 35.0, 36.0, 37.0, 38.0, 39.0),
  (40.0, 41.0, 42.0, 43.0, 44.0, 45.0, 46.0, 47.0, 48.0, 49.0),
  (50.0, 51.0, 52.0, 53.0, 54.0, 55.0, 56.0, 57.0, 58.0, 59.0),
  (60.0, 61.0, 62.0, 63.0, 64.0, 65.0, 66.0, 67.0, 68.0, 69.0),
  (70.0, 71.0, 72.0, 73.0, 74.0, 75.0, 76.0, 77.0, 78.0, 79.0),
  (80.0, 81.0, 82.0, 83.0, 84.0, 85.0, 86.0, 87.0, 88.0, 89.0),
  (90.0, 91.0, 92.0, 93.0, 94.0, 95.0, 96.0, 97.0, 98.0, 99.0))

 > tbl.Data[9][0]
90.0

90.0


If the XCellRange specialisation used c,r order, the last statement
would give 9, not 90

(The .Data comes from the XChartDataArray interface; there is also e.g.
.DataArray from XCellRangeData)
