// computing the mean across time of a 4D image where the first three
// dimensions correspond to spatial coordinates and the fourth dimension
// corresponds to time. The result of the mean across time is to be stored in a
// 3D image.

// As you can see, we avoid to use a 3D iterator to walk
// over the mean image. The reason is that there is no
// guarantee that the 3D iterator will walk in the same
// order as the 4D. Iterators just adhere to their contract
// of visiting all the pixel, but do not enforce any particular
// order for the visits. The linear iterator guarantees to
// visit the pixels along a line of the image in the order
// in which they are placed in the line, but do not states
// in what order one line will be visited with respect to
// other lines. Here we simply take advantage of knowing
// the first three components of the 4D iterator index,
// and use them to place the resulting mean value in the
// output 3D image.
