// <synopsis> 
// Class ExtendImage can be used to (virtually) extend an image
// along axes with length 1 and/or to add new axes. In this way such
// an image can be made conformant with another image.
// E.g. it can be used to extend the continuum channel to
// subtract it from each channel in an image cube.

// <motivation>
// Used by LEL to handle images with different dimensionalities.
