Do you have an example of how shape() works?  The shape method isn't
used in any of the multi-array tutorials.  Also, the reference material
says the shape method returns a list of "NumDims" but the return
signature specifies a "const size_type *" is returned.  How is "const
size_type *" a list of dimension?
