[Boost-users] [multi_array] size_type

It seems clear that since each dimension of a multi_array can have (I presume) 
extent up to numeric_limits<size_type>::max(), size_type isn't always large 
enough to hold the actual size of the multi_array and multi_array::size() may 
overflow. I have a similar problem with some of my own code, and I'd like to 
know how the multi_array designers approached this problem--my approach so 
far is to punt the problem to my users. Thanks.
