/* 
 * Document-class: Dobjects::Dvector
 *
 * Dvectors are a specialized implementation of one-dimensional arrays of double precision floating point numbers. 
 * They are intended for use in applications needing efficient processing of large vectors of numeric data.
 * Essentially any of the operations you might do with a 1D Ruby Array of numbers can also be done with a Dvector.
 * Just like Arrays, Dvector indexing starts at 0.  A negative index is 
 * assumed to be relative to the end of the vector---that is, an index of -1 
 * indicates the last element of the vector, -2 is the next to last 
 * element in the vector, and so on.  Element reference and element assignment are the same as for Arrays,
 * allowing for (start,length) or (range) as well as for simple indexing.  All of the other Array operations that
 * make sense for a 1D array of numbers are also provided for Dvectors.  For example, you can "fetch" or "fill"
 * with Dvectors, but there is no "assoc" or "compact" for them since one looks for arrays as elements
 * and the other looks for +nil+ elements, neither of which are found in Dvectors.
 *
 * In addition to the usual Array methods, there are a variety of
 * others that operate on the contents of the entire vector without the use of
 * explicit iterators.  These routines are crucial for efficient processing of large vectors. 
 * For example, "_vec_.sqrt" will create a vector of square roots of entries in  _vec_
 * more efficiently than the semantically equivalent form "_vec_.collect { |x| sqrt(x) }".
 *
 * All of the numeric methods also have 
 * 'bang' versions that modify the contents of the vector in place; for example, "_vec_.sqrt!"
 * is more efficient than "_vec_ = _vec_.sqrt".  By providing implicit iterators and in-place modification,
 * Dvectors make it possible to operate on large vectors of doubles in Ruby at speeds
 * closely approaching a C implementation.
 *
 * As a final example, for diehards only, say we have large vectors holding values of abundances of total helium
 * (<i>xhe</i>), singly ionized helium (<i>xhe1</i>), and doubly ionized helium (<i>xhe2</i>).
 * We're missing the values for neutral helium, but that is just what's left of total helium
 * after you subtract the two ionized forms, so it is easy to compute it.  Finally, we need to
 * calculate the log of the abundance of neutral helium and store it in another vector (<i>log_xhe0</i>).  
 * If we don't care about creating work for the garbage collector, we can simply do this
 *          log_xhe0 = (xhe - xhe1 - xhe2).log10
 * This works, but it creates multiple temporary vectors for intermediate results.
 * If, like me, you're compulsive about efficiency, you can do the whole thing with no garbage created at all:
 *          log_xhe0 = Dvector.new
 *          log_xhe0.replace(xhe).sub!(xhe1).sub!(xhe2).log10!
 * This copies <i>xhe</i> to <i>log_xhe0</i>, subtracts <i>xhe1</i> and <i>xhe2</i> from <i>log_xhe0</i> in place,
 * and then takes the +log+, also in place.  It's not pretty, but it is efficient -- use if needed.
 *
 * Please report problems with the Dvector extension here[http://theory.kitp.ucsb.edu/~paxton/].
 * [Note: for N-dimensional arrays or arrays of complex numbers or integers as well as doubles,
 * along with a variety of matrix operations,
 * check out the NArray[http://www.ir.isas.ac.jp/~masa/ruby/index-e.html] extension.]
 *
 * Dvector now also prides itselfs with a _dump and a _load function, which
 * means you can Marshal them.
