What's the advantage of this over the specialization of multi_array:

to just 2 dimensions?
I might have missed something, but I couldn't find any matrix operations in the multi_array class?! Further, a MultiArray 'defines an interface to hierarchically nested containers'. A matrix is neither really nested nor am I too happy with the way of viewing a matrix primarily as a container. Technically, of course, it is, but for the applications I have in mind it's more important what you can do with a matrix as a whole (like adding, multiplying with a scalar etc.) rather than their internal structure. That's one reason there are no iterators defined yet. They will be important at some point for people who want to implement algorithms over matrices (or operators for combining matrices with other types like vectors), but for now I think the focus should be on operations over matrices as a whole.
