Yes, I'm very familiar with PETE, however I'd vote against using
expression templates (ET) for the boost multi-dim array library. The
reason is that there are already good ET-based array libraries: Pooma and
Blitz. However, there is a need out there for a more portable, simpler,
and faster to compiler array library. I think the boost array library
should fill this need.

P.S. PETE uses partial specialization all over the place, and hence
 can not be used with the world's most popular wanna-be C++ compiler.
