I proposed myself understanding region.slate as much as possible as well as 
the documentaiton on regions on CLIM [1]. And at the same time, I'll try to 
improve region.slate.
One of the first things is creating PointND, the N-dimensional points. It is 
followe by this comment [2]
"N-dimensional points are vectors which don't accept further tupling."
What does tupling mean ? Does this whole thing mean that points can be 
increased in dimensions ?
And what does this method do:
p@(PointND traits) , _ [ p ]. 
- From my point of view, it seems a method to ignore the addition of dimensions, 
so running aPoint , 3 would just return aPoint (without a further dimension 
with a 3 in it). Right ? Am I right ?
Thank you.

etc ?
