[Boost-users] Multi Array problem

I have a problem what is demonstrated in the attached file.

Basically I have the following

create multi_array - a1
create a view on the multiarray which has the same number of dimensions 
a1_view
a1 == a1_view fails to compile.

The attached example illustrates this.  In the example I verify that
both a1 and a1_view fullfill the requirements for Multi Array.  The 
documentation
states that in order for a type to be a model of the Multi Array concept. 
The
operations

a == b must be valid.

Actually the documentation could be considered ambiguous on this point.  But
that is was I get from a plain reading of the document and from a common 
sense
interpretation.  If two types meeting the requirements of the Multi Array 
concept
have the same number of dimensions, I expect to be able to compare them as
this is natural operation to perform and implement.
