/* * Slice of a 1-D sequential C++ array treated as a vector.
  *
  * Objects of this class represent regions of vectors (continuous), rows of matrices
  * , columns of matrices or diagonals of matrices.
  * The underlying representation is of a continuous C++ array with non unit stride.
  * It uses the same convention that the BLAS use where a vector is represented as
  * the first element of
  * in an array, the stride between elements in that array and the number of elements.
  * Changes to elements through a DVectorSlice object result in changes to the elements
  * in the underlying value_type* data.
  *
  * DVectorSlice provides many STL compliant features such as typedef type members
  *, iterator returning functions
  * and the dim() function.  It also provides access to individual elements (lvalue)
  * through 0-based
  * and 1-based subscripting with operator[](i) and operator()(i) respectively.
  *  In addition and subregions can be created
  * by subscripting (operator()()) with an \Ref{Range1D} object or using lower (>0)
  * and upper bounds of the region.

    * Instead, users create VectorSliceTmpl objects by indexing (\Ref{Range1D}) a \Ref{DVector}

    * object or calling row(...), col(...) or diag(...) on a \Ref{DMatrix} or

    * The default C++ copy constructor is used, and is therefore not show here.
    *
    * Constructors are also included for creating views of raw C++ arrays.
    * These constructors take non-#const# pointers.  However you can savely
    * create a #const# view of a #const# C++ array by using a constant cast.
    * For example:
    *
    \verbatim
    const VectorSliceTmpl<T>::size_type n = 5;
    const VectorSliceTmpl<T>::value_type ptr[n] = { 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5,0 };
