The main purpose of this option is that you can perform math on a
series of input MINC files that don't necessarily have the same
start/step/direction cosines.

As for if it will work with files of different dimensionality and/or
different dimension sizes, the answer it "probably" although there
would have to be the same total number of voxels in the input images
(I am guessing here from my memory of voxel_loop, I haven't tried
this). The results might just be "spectacular" though...
