// <synopsis>
// A LatticeRegion is a lattice referencing a subset of another lattice
// by means of a <linkto class="Slicer">Slicer</linkto> object.
// <br>It is useful when only a subset of a lattice needs to be accessed.
// <p>
// When the LatticeRegion is created from a const <src>Lattice</src> object,
// it is not writable, thus it can only be used as an rvalue.
// </synopsis>
