I assume the num_dimensions() non-static member function was put in the design with the idea that the number of dimensions of a multi_array object might be dynamically changed. But since the multi array concept and classes doen't support changing the number of dimensions, it doesn't provide anything useful over a static constant.",Feature Requests,new,Boost 1.40.0,multi_array,Boost 1.39.0,Problem,,,
