  indeed i'm starting to get this impression.  (quite arrogant for a c++
newbie like me, isn't it? ;-) the standard doesn't seem
to define the very useful (IMO) computed assignment operators, like

    void operator*=(const T& x);

  only with other valarrays as arguments.

  well, c'est la vie, i guess, and i'll have to write my own loops.
