doh!  What I meant is that while my focus is upon a multidimensional
"array" library, I would like it to interoperate with a linear algebra
library.  That is, I would like 1 and 2 dimensional "arrays" to meet
the concept requirements of some linear algebraic container, or allow
for an easy adaptation to such an interface.
