#3222: const-correctness and documentation bugs

     Type:  Bugs          |      Status:  new        
Milestone:  Boost 1.40.0  |   Component:  multi_array
  Version:  Boost 1.39.0  |    Severity:  Problem    
 Keywords:                |  
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 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.
