/** \class ImageRegionMultidimensionalSplitter
 * \brief Divide a region into several pieces.
 *
 * ImageRegionMultidimensionalSplitter divides an ImageRegion into
 * smaller regions.  ImageRegionMultidimensionalSplitter is used by
 * the StreamingImageFilter to divide a requested output region into a
 * series of smaller requests of the pipeline.  This object has two
 * basic methods: GetNumberOfSplits() and GetSplit().
 * 

 * GetNumberOfSplits() is used to determine how may subregions a given
 * region can be divided.  You call GetNumberOfSplits with an argument
 * that is the number of subregions you want.  If the image region can
 * support that number of subregions, that number is returned.
 * Otherwise, the maximum number of splits less then or equal to the
 * argumen  be returned.  For example, if a region splitter class only divides
 * a region into horizontal slabs, then the maximum number of splits
 * will be the number of rows in the region.
 *
 * GetSplit() returns the ith of N subregions (as an ImageRegion object).
 *
 * ImageRegionMultidimensionalSplitter class divides a region
 * into hypercubes (as opposed to the slabs used by the superclass
 * ImageRegionSplitter). In other words, it splits every dimension of the
 * region to form ND rectangular prisms.
