Isn't that part of what the Numerical extensions to Python developed
at LLNL provide, already?  Excellent multidimensional arrays with
all sort of extended slicing, etc?

Maybe that word "Numerical" is turning people off -- but, the package's
"multi-arrays" can actually contain (references to) any sort of Python
objects whatsoever, so there is no limitation to "numerical" stuff...
