[Boost-users] question about multi_array use

Hello, I would like to use the multi_array container to handle imaging data. The image data can be anything up to 8-dimensional (usually up to 4) and dimension information is found in records that accompany the binary data. Would it be possible to create an image class that takes the dimensionality and extents list as parameters, so that images of all dimensionalities can be treated as one class? For example, could the dimensionality be passed as a size_t argument? What I understand from the multi_array paper is that the extents list would only be required whan the array is initialised.
