I have a comment about the naming of this class. I am afraid that
"array" has potential to be used for other things than just a wrapper
around C arrays. Why not to call it a "carray" so that everybody knows
what it refers to, and so that long threads in clc++m about stealing
names and introducing confusion can be avoided ?

IMHO "array" should rather refer to something like "Array" in blitz++
(http://www.oonumerics.org/blitz).
