// A Set of Beams associated with an Image.
// </etymology>

// <synopsis>
// This class represents a set of restoring beams associated with
// a deconvolved image. Internally, the beams are stored in a Matrix in
// which the first dimension represents the spectral axis and the second
// dimension represents the polarization axis. Methods which take the number
// of channels and stokes as the input parameters will accept 0 for either of
// these, in the cases where the corresponding axis is absent, but internally,
// the associated axis of the storage Matrix will be set to one since a Matrix
// with one dimension of length 0 must be empty. If one (or both) of the axes is
// of length 1, the beam associated with that position is valid for all channels or
// stokes at the position. For example, if one has an image with 10 spectral channels
// and 4 stokes, and one has a beam set of dimensions (1, 4) associated with that image,
// all channels for a given stokes will have the same beam. Similarly, if the beam set
// is of shape (10, 1) in this case, all stokes will have the same beam for a given channel.
// If the axis lengths of the beam set are greater than one, they must be exactly
// the same length of the corresponding axes in the associated image.
// </synopsis>

// <example>

// <motivation>
// Restoring beams are used many places in image analysis tasks.
