<para>
<literal>const_multi_array_ref</literal> is a multi-dimensional container
adaptor.  It provides the MultiArray interface over any contiguous
block of elements.  <literal>const_multi_array_ref</literal> exports the
same interface as <literal>multi_array</literal>, with the exception
of the constructors.
