Whole Array Expressions

Arrays can be treated like a single variable in that:

• can use intrinsic operators between conformable arrays (or sections),

      B = C * D - B**2

  this is equivalent to concurrent execution of:

      B(-4,0) = C(1,1)*D(0,0)-B(-4,0)**2 ! in ||
      B(-3,0) = C(2,1)*D(1,0)-B(-3,0)**2 ! in ||
       ...
      B(-4,1) = C(1,2)*D(0,1)-B(-4,1)**2 ! in ||
       ...
      B(0,2)  = C(5,3)*D(4,2)-B(0,2)**2  ! in ||

• elemental intrinsic functions can be used,

      B = SIN(C)+COS(D)

  the function is applied element by element.
