I doubt it.  The reason is that there's no de facto multidimensional
array implementation.  MDArray is pretty old (pre 1.1 days), the
author of NArray is claiming he abandoned the development.  I've heard
somthing like NumRuby is under development, but not yet made public.

Relasing 1.6.0 should be near futrure (within a few days), so timeline
is too tight, I guess.
