I think the interface for a multi_array is different from what one would
expect from a tree. So I don't think they should be merged. From what
you say, maybe multi_array could use a tree as a backend.
Still, if you need indexed access to the nodes, I think you'd be better
off with a wrapper around a vector and an index translation scheme than
with a tree.
Hmm... On second thought, you could probably have a tree view on top of
a multi_array or the other way around (I'd go for the first, if I was to
choose...)
Best,
