two elements of answer:
- NT2 supports statically sized table by using the of_size_ settings:
table<float, of_size_<4,4> > x;
for any number of dimensions up to 4.
Note that the static quality of the table dimensions is independant of its
storage duration that can be dynamic_ or automatic_.
- NT2 doesn't have support for non numeric types at the moment, so a table of string is doomed to fail.
