Hi all,

I just sent my answer to Andy who asked me to forward it to everybody.

Sorry for not answering before. I am very busy with teaching.

I fully approve. I do not understand why we chose the other solution. Does 
somebody remember?

About units we must make provision for no units. An image may be a simple 2D 
matrix without any units. Thus I suggest to add another "unit" called no_unit.

It means that in all cases it would be mandatory to give a
_array_structure_list.units data item. 

It makes things much safer.
