OvermindDL1 proposed to use boost.variant in thread called "question
about multi_array use" (see there for a more complete code).
for example:
typedef boost::variant
                <multi_array<int, 2>
                ,multi_array<int, 3>
                ,multi_array<int, 4>
                ,multi_array<int, 5>
                ,multi_array<int, 6>
                ,multi_array<int, 7>
                ,multi_array<int, 8>
                > multi_array_variant_t;

and he says that using boost.fusion will be even better. I didn't try
it, but I would like to know if the solution really works well.
