Fernando,

Just so you don't think we're all ignoring you, I think your idea is cool.
Array has languished so long without being accepted into boost that perhaps
we should defer such extensions/improvements until shortly after it is
accepted. I guess that's up to Nico. Finally, why didn't you define global
operators for +/-, I wonder?
