// We now introduce a variation on convolution filtering that is useful when a
// convolution kernel is separable.  In this example, we create a different
// neighborhood iterator for each axial direction of the image and then take
// separate inner products with a 1D discrete Gaussian kernel.
// The idea of using several neighborhood iterators at once has applications
// beyond convolution filtering and may improve efficiency when the size of
// the whole neighborhood relative to the portion of the neighborhood used
// in calculations becomes large.
//
// The only new class necessary for this example is the Gaussian operator.
