WARNING: THIS CLASS WILL CHANGE. Current API is derived from OGC
 *     Grid Coverages Implementation specification 1.0.
 *     We plan to replace it by new interfaces derived from ISO 19123 (Schema for coverage geometry
 *     and functions). Current interfaces should be considered as legacy and are included in this
 *     distribution only because they were part of GeoAPI 1.0 release. We will try to preserve as much 
 *     compatibility as possible, but no migration plan has been determined yet.
