Ouch... That's what I meant about design. In numerical stuff, I feel that classes
should be reserved for the top level and made out of simple components that use 
standard data types, i.e., arrays and scalars. That way pieces can be pulled out
and reused or modified without bringing along tons of supporting cruft.
