[Stk] Operator Overloading in StkFrames (+, -, *, etc.)

[Gary Scavone]

Hi Chris,

This would be a welcome addition!

I've recently been wondering whether there is a need to support both  
interleaved and non-interleaved formats in StkFrames.  Having both  
makes the tick() function definitions a bit slower and less concise.   
One option would be to always use one format internally and then  
provide a conversion function to provide the data in the other format  
if needed by the user.

Regards,
