Re: [boost] Does anybody know why boost::array does not support multiple dimensions?

I can't speak to the reasons why it's not in `boost::array` (but note that nothing like that ever got standardized either).

I suppose that the equivalent to `T[N][M]` is already `array, M>`.

Also, the obvious suggestion would be to use Boost MultiArray https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_78_0/libs/multi_array/doc/user.html

Hmmm - looking at the docs for multi_array (which I had forgotten about) makes me think this is the solution you should look into first. It's dated 2006 and/but has the imprimatur of some of our best developers. It's a little hard to understand from the docs. Perhaps it would be a worthwhile investment to use some modern TMP to improve somewhat the interface/API and of course sync up the docs accordingly. Sounds to me like a small yet very worthwhile and interesting project. Robert Ramey
