This isn't a brand new approach, but I'm thanking you anyway because I
should be using something very similar to 'unrank' myself but it never
occurred to me.

BTW - this is particularly appropriate in Python due to long integers.
The exponential increase in the sizes of integers needed with the
number of dimensions isn't going to cause a program to fail as soon as
you hit it with real data.

Hope you don't mind me stealing your code ;-)
