There doesn't seem to be anything like replace in narray. Maybe I
should resort to using a wrapper class around my narrays?

class NArrayWrapper
  def initialize(narray)
     @narray = narray
  end

   def marshal_dump
      @narray.to_a
   end

   def marshal_load(array)
     @narray = NArray.to_narray(array)
   end
end

But then I'd have to write a whole bunch of accessor methods and stuff.
I bet there's some C/ruby/narray wizardry that will replicate replace.
