// <etymology>
// IPosition is an Index Position in an n-dimensional array.
// </etymology>
 
// <synopsis>
// IPosition is "logically" a Vector<int> constrained so that its origin
// is zero-based, and in fact that used to be the way it was implemented.
// It was split out into a separate class to make the inheritance from
// Arrays simpler (since Arrays use IPositions). The
// template instantiation mechanism is complicated enough that this
// simplification was felt to be a good idea.
// <p>
// IPosition objects are normally used to index into, and define the shapes
// of, multi-dimensional arrays. For example, if you have a 5 dimensional
// array, you need an IPosition of length 5 to index into the array (or
// to define its shape, etc.).
// <p>
// Unlike Vectors, IPositions always use copy semantics.
// <srcblock>
// IPosition ip1(5);                         // An IPosition of length 5
// ip1(0) = 11; ip1(1) = 5; ... ip1(4) = 6;  // Indices 0-based
// IPosition ip2(ip1);                       // Copy constructor; a COPY
// </srcblock>
//
// Binary operations must take place either with a conformnat (same size)
// IPosition or with an integer, which behaves as if it was an IPosition
// of the same size (i.e., length). All the usual binary arithmetic
// operations are available, as well as logical operations, which return
// Booleans. These all operate "element-by-element".
// <p>
// All non-inlined member functions of IPosition check invariants if the
// preprocessor symbol AIPS_DEBUG is defined.
// That is, the member functions check that ok() is true (constructors
// check after construction, other functions on entry to the function).
// If these tests fail, an AipsError exception is thrown; its message
// contains the line number and source file of the failure (it is thrown
// by the lAssert macro defined in aips/Assert.h).
//
// Constructors and functions exist to construct an IPosition directly from
// a Vector or std::vector object or to convert to it. Furthermore the
// <src>fill</src> and <src>copy</src> can be used to fill from or copy to
// any STL-type iterator.
//
// <example>
// <srcblock>
// IPosition blc(5), trc(5,1,2,3,4,5);
// blc = 0;            // OR IPosition blc(5,0);
// //...
// if (blc > trc) {
//    IPosition tmp;
//    tmp = trc;       // Swap
//    trc = blc;
//    blc = tmp;
// }
// //...
// trc += 5;           // make the box 5 larger in all dimensions
// std::vector<int> vec(trc.toStdVector());
// </srcblock>
// </example>
