I don't imagine it would be particularly efficient, but you could use
fancy indexing (or some weird code I posted a few months ago to avoid
copying) to construct a new array such that slices along one axis are
the (overlapping) chunks of the original array. Then any operation you
want to perform on all the chunks can just be performed along this
axis of the new array.
