   * The gum::MultiDimImplementation is an abstract class for all
   * multidimensional implementation of container of GUM_SCALAR. Its purpose is
   * to implement base algorithms with no regard to how the storage is done
   * (tree, matrix...)
   *
   * It deals also with variables and implements pure virtual methods concerned
   * with dimensions.
   *
   * See operator<<(std::ostream&, const MultiDimImplementation<GUM_SCALAR>&)
   * to print a gum::MultiDimImplementation.
   *
   * @tparam GUM_SCALAR The type of the scalar stored in this multidimensional
   * matrix.
