I would like to apply this one, but I don't think dim<> is the right name. 
Annoying, it's a kind of an index of the index. Right now, it is 

index          // == static 1, 2, etc. equals the N in sizeN.
index_major    // == index<N>, N depends on data_order

but this naming conflicts with providing an array of indices. What about...

index_position
index_position_major

or index_tuple, entry, entry_at, or...?

Votes please :-)
