//! Vector representing the dimensions (size) of an Array.
//!
//! A dim_vector is used to represent dimensions of an Array.  It is used
//! on its constructor to specify its size, or when reshaping it.
//!
//! @code{.cc}
//! // Matrix with 10 rows and 20 columns.
//! Matrix m Matrix (dim_vector (10, 20));
//!
//! // Change its size to 5 rows and 40 columns.
//! Matrix m2 = m.reshape (dim_vector (5, 40));
//!
//! // Five dimensional Array of length 10, 20, 3, 8, 7 on each dimension.
//! NDArray a (dim_vector (10, 20, 3, 8, 7));
//!
//! // Uninitialized array of same size as other.
//! NDArray b (a.dims ());
//! @endcode
//!
//! The main thing to understand about this class, is that methods such as
//! ndims() and numel(), return the value for an Array of these dimensions,
//! not the actual number of elements in the dim_vector.
//!
//! @code{.cc}
//! dim_vector d (10, 5, 3);
//! octave_idx_type n = d.numel (); // returns 150
//! octave_idx_type nd = d.ndims (); // returns 3
//! @endcode
//!
//! ## Implementation details ##
//!
//! This implementation is more tricky than Array, but the big plus is that
//! dim_vector requires only one allocation instead of two.  It is (slightly)
//! patterned after GCC's basic_string implementation.  rep is a pointer to an
//! array of memory, comprising count, length, and the data:
//!
//! @verbatim
//!        <count>
//!        <ndims>
//! rep --> <dims[0]>
//!        <dims[1]>
//!        ...
//! @endverbatim
//!
//! The inlines count(), ndims() recover this data from the rep.  Note
//! that rep points to the beginning of dims to grant faster access
//! (reinterpret_cast is assumed to be an inexpensive operation).

  //! Construct dim_vector for a N dimensional array.
  //!
  //! Each argument to constructor defines the length of an additional
  //! dimension.  A dim_vector always represents a minimum of 2 dimensions
  //! (just like an Array has at least 2 dimensions) and there is no
  //! upper limit on the number of dimensions.
  //!
  //! @code{.cc}
  //! dim_vector dv (7, 5);
  //! Matrix mat (dv);
  //! @endcode
  //!
  //! The constructed dim_vector @c dv will have two elements, @f$[7, 5]@f$,
  //! one for each dimension.  It can then be used to construct a Matrix
  //! with such dimensions, i.e., 7 rows and 5 columns.
  //!
  //! @code{.cc}
  //! NDArray x (dim_vector (7, 5, 10));
  //! @endcode
  //!
  //! This will construct a 3 dimensional NDArray of lengths 7, 5, and 10,
  //! on the first, second, and third dimension (rows, columns, and pages)
  //! respectively.
  //!
  //! Note that that there is no constructor that accepts only one
  //! dimension length to avoid confusion.  The source for such confusion
  //! is that constructor could mean:
  //!   - a column vector, i.e., assume @f$[N, 1]@f$;
  //!   - a square matrix, i.e., as is common in Octave interpreter;
  //!   - support for a 1 dimensional Array (does not exist);
  //!
  //! Using r, c, and lengths... as arguments, allow us to check at compile
  //! time that there's at least 2 dimensions specified, while maintaining
  //! type safety.
