// <synopsis>
// This LEL class holds an array with a mask.
// The mask can be a single Bool valid for all elements of the array.
// Otherwise it is a full mask with the same shape as the array.
// </synopsis>
 
// <motivation>
// It maskes it possible to handle an array with its mask as a single object.
