While it is certainly true that some of the reliance on arrays was due to the paucity of other data structures in FORTRAN, it is also true that computation on arrays reflects the common occurrence of regularly sampled multi-dimensioned data in science.

The Lattices are a generalization of Arrays. They can handle memory- and disk-based arrays as well as other types of arrays (eg. expressions).

The module consists of various parts:
