Multidimensions #12

Hi! Any perspective about implementing models that allows estimations with more than one single dimension? Many packages in political science have this advantage (OC, IDEAL, MCMCPACK, NOMINATE). It would be great to have this possibility using your package too. Thanks!

So my intension is to make it 2-dimensional, but that won't be for the version release following the next one (which is quite a big one). My personal opinion is that more than 2 dimensions isn't generally useful in the social sciences.

Will be included in v1.1.
