I'm not sure how it applies to this discussion, but I'd just like to mention
that a lot of interest (in c++ and d communities) has moved away from using
iterators as the fundamental interface to containers and to ranges as the
interface.

Interesting, I didn't read about that.
In fact, I was playing around with a proxy wrapper for ndarrays not long
ago, in order to build a tree of deferred operations that can be later
Thanks for the long email. I think there are a lot of thoughts around some of
these ideas and it is good to get as many of them articulated as possible.
I learn much from these kinds of discussions.I think others value them as
well.
I like your ideas about what kind of overloading

allows for compressed arrays, on-the-fly computed arrays,

What happens to the buffer API/persistence with all those additions?
I understand the desire to keep things simple, which is why I am only proposing
a rather small change to the array object with *huge* implications ---
encompassing the very cool deferred arrays that Mark Wiebe is
