Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing NDArray representation and Julia's Base.Array parametric type. Compare the implications for multiple dispatch and performance, then document a clear recommendation and the changes required for the chosen design.

Description

Should we make NDArray be parametric like Base's Array?
One of the benefit I can tell is that it will help for multiple dispatch,
but how about the performance?
