Correct.  I think that all-in-all it shouldn't bee too difficult,  
though I will likely need to  make some changes to the MultiArray  
concept, specifically the addition of a traits class to establish  
models of MultiArray as well as dimensionality.
 From there, implementing the operations should not be difficult.
