I think the full complements of types would be useful. I don't use doubles or long doubles at all, but I would use short ints and unsigned short ints. I guess it depends on the particular problem.

If my understanding is correct it keeps extra information to describe the dimensions, and then a pointer to a chunk of memory to hold the nD array. Cheers, Clark
