// ArrayIterator steps an array section (the "cursor") through an array.
// The cursor "refers" to storage in the array, so that changing the
// values in the cursor changes values in the original array. Like with
// ArrayPositionIterator, the cursor presently only moves through the array from
// bottom to top in the obvious way; however one may of course iterate
// through a slice ("array section"). This class is derived from
// ArrayPositionIterator since it also has a position (the blc of the cursor)
// which moves through the array volume.
//
// <note role=tip> The origin of the cursor, i.e. the subarray that moves
//   through the larger array, is always zero.
// </note>

// Array<Float> to, from;
// //... set to and from, check that they are conformant

// while (! toiter.pastEnd() ) {
//     toiter.array() = fromiter.array();  // copy vector by vector
//     toiter.next(); fromiter.next();
// }
