Hi Frank,

Yes, I have considered such a thing, though rather than returning a  
collection specifically, I have considered upgrading multi_array to  
use the Boost.Range concepts.  Then there could be versions of shape,  
indices, etc. that return a pair of pointers, which could be treated  
as Ranges.
