0.4.6pre Documentation for SubArray looks out of date

[dlfivefifty]

It states that a SubArray is defined as

type SubArray{T,N,P<:AbstractArray,I<:(ViewIndex...),LD} <: AbstractArray{T,N}
    parent::P
    indexes::I
    dims::NTuple{N,Int}
    first_index::Int   # for linear indexing and pointer
    stride1::Int       # used only for linear indexing
end

when actually it's defined as

immutable SubArray{T,N,P<:AbstractArray,I<:Tuple{Vararg{ViewIndex}},LD} <: AbstractArray{T,N}
    parent::P
    indexes::I
    dims::NTuple{N,Int}
    first_index::Int   # for linear indexing and pointer
    stride1::Int       # used only for linear indexing
end

Oh, yikes, I had totally forgotten about that chapter! It's woefully out of date now; there's been an even bigger refactor in #15071. In general, things are much simpler, but it'd still be worth documenting their internals. I'm not sure when I'll find time for it; if anyone else wants to take a shot at it I'd happily provide feedback.

@mbauman It continues to be out of date. Now in 0.5, we do not have sub or slice, only view. Further the explanation of the SubArray type remains dated.
