Description

Issue overview

Eliminate use of Array[1-5]D +=, -=, *=, and /= operators and eliminate those operators from the ObjexxFCL template hierarchy. This is less of an issue now that we are using EPVector, which is a much smaller template, for many objects. However, we should still not use these. Loops work.

Research direction

Start by locating uses of Array[1-5]D +=, -=, *=, and /=, then inspect the ObjexxFCL template hierarchy and existing EPVector usage. The work is done when those Array arithmetic operators are no longer used or defined and equivalent loop-based behavior remains intact.
