'tis a good idea, this will make writing of generic tools more straightforward
and devoid of big case statements.  Will it be the default? :)  If this comes to
fruition then I assume a reserved dimension name will be used?

It's not clear what any of the current mincxxx tools should do in my mind, apart
from mincdiff! :)  Will mincmath be doing complex multiplication/division for
complex data files?  Let's define a matrix type in MINC!  whooo!

PS: I currently achieve complex division/adittion with a few little minccalc
scripts....
