/** \brief Base interface for product vectors.
 *
 * This class defines an abstract interface for a vector that is built
 * out of the one or more other vectors to form what mathematicians
 * like to call a "product vector".
 *
 * A product vector is simply the concatenation of two or more vectors
 * to form a larger "composite" vector.  Specifically, a product vector
 * with <tt>numBlock</tt> constituent block vectors represents the blocked
 * vector

 \verbatim

         [ v[0]           ]
         [ v[1]           ]
 this =  [ .              ]
         [ v[numBlocks-1] ]
 \endverbatim
 
 * The constituent vectors <tt>v[k]</tt> can be accessed through the
 * <tt>const</tt> and non-<tt>const</tt> access functions
 * <tt>getBlock()</tt>.
 *
 * A product vector knows its product space which is returned by the
 * </tt>productSpace()</tt> function.  A <tt>%ProductVectorBase</tt>
 * object is created by a <tt>ProductVectorSpaceBase</tt> object and
 * never directly created by clients.
 *
 * This class is only an interface.  A standard implementation of this
 * interface that should be sufficient for 99% or so of use cases is
 * provided in the concrete subclass <tt>DefaultProductVector</tt>.
