15.1.1.2 Array Dimensions

An axis of an array is called a dimension.

Each dimension is a non-negative fixnum; if any dimension of an array is zero, the array has no elements. It is permissible for a dimension to be zero, in which case the array has no elements, and any attempt to access an _element_is an error. However, other properties of the array, such as the dimensions themselves, may be used.
