_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Returns a matrix of integers indicating the number of their slice
     in a given array.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     slice.index(x, MARGIN)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: an array.  If 'x' has no dimension attribute, it is
          considered a one-dimensional array.

  MARGIN: an integer giving the dimension number to slice by.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     An integer array 'y' with dimensions corresponding to those of 'x'
     such that all elements of slice number 'i' with respect to
     dimension 'MARGIN' have value 'i'.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'row' and 'col' for determining row and column indexes; in fact,
     these are special cases of 'slice.index' corresponding to 'MARGIN'
     equal to 1 and 2, respectively when 'x' is a matrix.

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

     x <- array(1 : 24, c(2, 3, 4))
     slice.index(x, 2)
