Runtime-decisions about the dimensionality of a MultiArray definitely are interesting but I'm unimaginative and can't think of the use case...
For me it is quite common, but I guess scientific computing is the special case... From my experience, runtime dimensionality is mostly required when you have to read the data from a file of unknown dimensionality and when "main(int argc, char *argv[])" receives arguments that affects the dimensionality.
Last Novemeber: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/63640 Alle had a use case for runtime dimensionality. In private emails between now and then, I did mention (on April 12) this thread and I think he's decided to abandon use of variants. I did propose something that did have dynamic dimensionality; however, he may want to consider this index_list instead since it's much further developed. -regards, Larry
