Dynamic dimensions

[Willi Richert]

Hi,

Swig has conceptually no chance (at least none that I know of) to dynamically 
bind template based class of static language. If that would be possible one 
would have to ship its swig using project always with all C++/swig/py-binding 
source files.

Maybe I have come too accustomed to the "type safety has to come with 
unittesting"-idiom by programming too much Python ;-)
