    @brief This vector holds pointer to the elements of another container.

    If you for example want to sort the elements of a constant container, you would have to copy the whole container.
    @n To avoid copy actions this class only holds pointer to the constant elements of a container.
    @n You can insert new elements, but it is not possible to change existing ones.

    The following code demonstrates the use of this class:
    @code
FeatureMap<> map;
map.resize(10); //...fill map with data

//Create pointer vector to the map
ConstRefVector<FeatureMap<> > ref_vector(map);
//Sort the pointer vector without changing the original data
ref_vector.sortByIntensity();
    @endcode

        @improvement Check if we can omit the iterator template arguments (Clemens)
