//: Abstract class for array fields, i.e., fields that occur within a repeat loop.
// Since repeat loops can be nested, this field can be multi-dimensional.
// Its row dimensions don't even need to be same. One instance of this
// class "collects" all the values associated with a tag, even though they
// may be interleaved among other values in the NITF file. This class
// provides dimensional information and implements methods common to the
// type-specific subclasses.
