// <synopsis>
// AxesMapping holds the information about mapping axes to another order.
// It can be constructed by <linkto class=AxesSpecifier>AxesSpecifier</linkto>
// by applying a shape to the axes specification.
// <br>AxesMapping is thereafter used to map positions, shapes, and
// slices to the new axes or backwards.
// <note role=caution>
// Shapes and positions are both represented by class IPosition.
// However, they have to be treated differently in this class,
// because removed axes for a position have value 0, while for a
// shape they have value 1. Hence there are different functions for them
// and the user has to take care that the correct function is called.
