Issue 18196: scatter, gather should support multidimensional index views (vsiplxx-rtf)
Source:  (Mr. Brooks Moses, brooks.moses(at)dpdx.net)
Nature: Enhancement
Severity: Minor
Summary: The gather() and scatter() functions, as defined, are capable of
gathering from or scattering to multidimensional arrays, by virtue of
supporting multidimensional Index variables.


However, they cannot gather _to_ or scatter _from_ multidimensional
arrays, because they explicitly specify only Vectors of Index variables.
 The extension to Matrices and Tensors of Index variables, with
corresponding-type gather() output and scatter() input, is obvious and
should be included.


Resolution: In the interest of closing the current RTF so that the solutions to resolved issues can be made publically available, this issue is deferred to the next RTF.
