    /** \brief A vector referencing a non continuous subvector of elements given another vector of indices.
     *
     * It is the most general version of any subvectors because it uses another vector of indices to reference
     * the subvector. 
     *
     * The vector of indices can be of any type with the restriction that its elements must be
     * type-compatible with the size_type \c of the container. In practice, the following are good candidates:
     * - \c boost::numeric::ublas::indirect_array<A> where \c A can be \c int, \c size_t, \c long, etc...
     * - \c std::vector<A> where \c A can \c int, \c size_t, \c long, etc...
     * - \c boost::numeric::ublas::vector<int> can work too (\c int can be replaced by another integer type)
     * - etc...
     *
     * An indirect vector can be used as a normal vector in any expression. If the specified indirect vector 
     * falls outside that of the indices of the vector, then the \c vector_indirect is not a well formed 
     * \i Vector \i Expression and access to an element outside of indices of the vector is \b undefined.
     *
     * \tparam V the type of vector referenced (for example \c vector<double>)
     * \tparam IA the type of index vector. Default is \c ublas::indirect_array<>
