#11587: Compute index from offset and vice versa
------------------------------+-------------------------
 Reporter:  alex.shtf@…       |      Owner:  garcia
     Type:  Feature Requests  |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  multi_array
  Version:  Boost 1.59.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                    |
------------------------------+-------------------------
 When using multi_array, or more precisely multi_array_ref, it is sometimes
 essential to compute a multi-dimensional index from an absolute offset
 from the origin, and vice versa. It is essential for inter-operability
 with legacy code that is not aware of multi_array.

 I believe that two methods:
 * multi_array::index_to_offset
 * multi_array::offset_to_index

 will do the job.
