.. and that's essentially the design objective--Blitz makes 
efficient F90 array operations available in C++.  There is 
another expression-template style array class that provides
many standard linear algebra operations:

Blitz and mtl can work together, since mtl (like Blitz) can
construct dense arrays from existing allocated memory.
