[pooma-dev] Particle Attrib Access

[James Crotinger]

Pooma 2 Array's do not use operator[] for element access. This is primarily
because it doesn't work in multiple dimensions (to get C-like arrays using
a[i][j] you have to have a[i] return a proxy that then causes evaluation to
happen when the next subscript is seen - as you know, r1 did this. It was a
pain.). We could have special cased 1D, but decided that it was better to be
consistent across all dimensionalities.

Why are the particle attributes (DynamicArray's) only accessible through
operator() and not operator[], too?

SomeParticle.event(i) --- works
SomeParticle.event[i] --- doesn't
