I am able to modify a const multi_array through a multi_array_ref.  For 
example:

const boost::multi_array<int, 2> myarray(boost::extents[2][2]);
boost::multi_array_ref<int, 2> myarrayref(myarray);
myarrayref[0][1] = 2;

IMO, trying to create a multi_array_ref from a const multi_array should fail 
to compile, only a const_multi_array_ref should work.

Also, the reference doesn't include the public inheritance between 
multi_array, multi_array_ref, and const_multi_array in their class synopses.  
It is important because it seems to be the only reason you can do conversions 
from multi_array to multi_array_ref or const_multi_array_ref.
