Really? Does NumpyArrayAdapter not implement non-orthogonal indexing?

Does NumpyArrayAdapter not implement non-orthogonal indexing?

I'm a little wary of the double negative, so how about this: all biggus arrays provide orthogonal indexing. (The point of the NumpyArrayAdapater is to provide orthogonal indexing even though the underlying array doesn't.)

Ah, OK. Thanks for the clarification.

Incidentally, is there a need for OrthoArrayAdapter?

It makes the indexing deferred.
