Compares two magic squares according to Frenicle's method.
 Mnemonic is the old Fortran &#8220;.GT.&#8221; (for &#8220;Greater Than&#8221;)
 comparison et seq.
To compare magic square <code>a</code> with magic square <code>b</code>, their
elements are compared in rowwise order: <code>a[1,1]</code> is compared with
<code>b[1,1]</code>, then <code>a[1,2]</code> with <code>b[1,2]</code>, up to
<code>a[n,n]</code>. Consider the first element that is different, say
<code>[i,j]</code>. Then <code>a&lt;b</code> if <code>a[i,j]&lt;b[i,j]</code>.
The generalization to hypercubes is straightforward: comparisons are
carried out natural order.

array

A collection of functions for the manipulation and
analysis of arbitrarily dimensioned arrays.  The original motivation
for the package was the development of efficient, vectorized
algorithms for the creation and investigation of magic squares and
high-dimensional magic hypercubes.
