-``strided``

-A dimension whose size is fixed across the array, but whose
-size is no known ahead of time. This is not commonly used in Blaze,
-but is in DyND where it is how NumPy-like dimensions are created.
-For example, a two dimensional strided array has type
-``strided * strided * int32``, and does not bake in particular
-dimension sizes like with fixed dimensions in ``10 * 15 * int32``.
