Does that mean that with Mathlab you can reshape a monodimensional 
array into a three dimensional array, or, in general, change the 
number of dimensions of the array? With my Array that's certainly not 
possible, and I don't know if it's desirable. The whole 
implementation would have to change to support that, and many 
problems would have to be addressed.
