Re: More concise syntax for addressing std::vector* ???

I want the resulting code to be as close to this speed as
possible:

double Number03;
    Number03 = 12345678.1234;

What about something like

NumberType& get_n(Array* a, size_t n) {
    while(n-- > 0)
        a = (*a)[0];
    return a->Number;
}

If you happen to have problems with the raw number, how
about

// analog
struct anal {
    size_t n;
    anal():n(){}
    anal& operator()() { n++; return *this; }
    operator size_t() { return n; }
};

get_n(Array, anal()()()()());

You could easily expand it to include array dimensions into
the parens
and stuff:

struct anal {
    Array *a;
    anal(Array *a):a(a) {}
    anal& operator()(ptrdiff_t p) { a = (*a)[p]; return
*this; }
};

anal(Array)(0)(0)(1)(0).a->Number;

You get the idea. There are many ways. Make it a template
and
reusable...
