  \class TArray
  \ingroup TArray
  Class for template arrays with numerical data types (int, float, complex).

  This class handles arrays with number of dimensions up to
  \ref BASEARRAY_MAXNDIMS "BASEARRAY_MAXNDIMS" (=5). The class has a performant 
  memory management system, including reference sharing for the array data.
  (copy constructor and sub-arrays (or slices)). 

  An important feature of this class is the transparent handling of sub-arrays,
  or slices. Arbitrary sub-arrays or slices can be defined, provided regular 
  spacing along each array axe (or dimension). 
  The second example below illustrate the use of this possibility.
  
  Standard arithmetic operations, sum or product as well as application of usual
  math functions (Sin, Cos ...) on numerical arrays are implemented.
  These operations usually provide high performance, despite of the complex 
  memory management pattern.

  ASCII input/output (or read write) and binary I/O (persistence) in different
  formats are also provided through helper (or handler) classes.

  This class is mainly intented for arrays with large number of data elements.
  (Size() \> 100 .. 1000). Arrays with few data elements (\< 10) have significant 
  memory overhead, due to variables describing array shape and memory organisation.
  However, a single higher dimensional array can be used to represent a large number 
  of identical size small arrays. For example, TArray<T> tab(2,2, 1000) can be used
  to hold 1000 2x2 matrices.

  \warning Notice that array elements along the X axis are contiguous in memory, 
  independent of the array rank (number of dimensions), for packed arrays.

  \b Array is a typedef for double precision floating point arrays ( TArray<r_8> )

  \code
  #include "array.h"
  // ...
  // Creating and initialising a 1-D array of integers
  TArray<int> ia(5);
  EnumeratedSequence es;
  es = 24, 35, 46, 57, 68;
  ia = es;
  cout << "Array<int> ia = \n" << ia;
  // 2-D array of floats 
  TArray<r_4> b(6,4), c(6,4);
  // Initializing b with a constant
  b = 2.71828;
  // Filling c with random numbers  
  c = RandomSequence(); 
  // Arithmetic operations
  TArray<r_4> d = b+0.3f*c;
  cout << "Array<float> d = \n" << d;  
  \endcode

  Example for sub-arrays, or slices
  \code 
  // Creating and initialising a 2-D (6 x 4) array of integers
  TArray<int> iaa(6, 4);
  iaa = RegularSequence(1,2);
  cout << "Array<int> iaa = \n" << iaa;
  // We extract a sub-array - data is shared with iaa
  TArray<int> iae = iaa(Range(1, Range::lastIndex(), 3) ,
                        Range::all(), Range::first() );
  cout << "Array<int> iae=subarray(iaa) = \n" << iae;
  // Changing iae elements changes corresponding iaa elements
  iae = 0;
  cout << "Array<int> iae=0 --> iaa = \n" << iaa;
  \endcode
