This takes advantage of const generics to provide general initializers for the statically-dimensioned array types. (2-6 dimensions, with the current implementations). This reduces the reliance on macros for array initialization, and enables other crates to operate more succinctly when working with an unknown-dimension static array type. I'm unsure how well this fits with the existence of the dynamic array index implementation, and the name of the new type alias
IxD
is open for discussion. No additional test cases have been implemented for this functionality yet.
