/** @class Tensor
 *  @author Mike Williams
 *
 *  @brief General template class for handling tensors and tensor operations.
 *
 * Tensor is a template class for handling tensors and tensor operations.
 * A Tensor object can be any rank and store any type that can be 
 * stored in a C++ container class. This class has been written to be as
 * general and flexible as possible. Parameter passing has been optimized
 * using the Type class. Tensor has been designed so that two instantiations,
 * Tensor<_A> and Tensor<_B>, are completely compatible as long as _A and _B 
 * are compatible (eg. _A*_B,_A+_B,...are defined).  Return types of 
 * <em>mixed type</em> tensor operations are determined by the OperationType
 * template classes (MultType,DivType,AddType,SubType).
 *
 * <b>Example Usage </b>
 * 
 * \include Tensor.ex
