//
// Vector objects are one-dimensional specializations (e.g., more convenient
// and efficient indexing) of the general Array class. You might also want
// to look at the Array documentation to see inherited functionality.
//
// Generally the member functions of Array are also available in
// Vector versions
// which take an integer where the array needs an IPosition. Since the Vector
// is one-dimensional, the IPositions are overkill, although you may
// use those versions if you want to.
// <srcblock>
// Vector<Int> vi(100);  // Vector 100 elements long.
// vi.resize(50);        // Now only 50 long.
// </srcblock>
//
// Slices may be taken with the Slice class. To take a slice, one "indexes" 
// with Slice(start, length, inc) where end and inc are optional.
// <srcblock>
// Vector<Float> vf(100);
// //...
// vf(Slice(0,50,2)) = vf(Slice(1,50,2));  // Copy values from odd onto even
// Vector<Float> firstHalf, secondHalf;
// firstHalf.reference(vf(Slice(0,50)));
// secondHalf.reference(vf(Slice(50,50)));
// // Now we have aliases for two slices into the Vector
// </srcblock>
//
// Element-by-element arithmetic and logical operations are available (in
// aips/ArrayMath.h and aips/ArrayLogical.h) as well as dot and cross
// products (in aips/MatrixMath.h).
//
// A Vector can be constructed from an STL <src>vector</src>. The reverse
// operation (<src>Array::tovector()</src>) can construct an STL
// <src>vector</src> from any Array.
// <note role=tip> To create any other STL container from an Array (or
// the reverse), always create from/to a <src>vector</src>, and use the
// range constructor to create from/to others (like set, list, deque). </note>
// 
// As with the Arrays, if the preprocessor symbol AIPS_DEBUG is
// defined at compile time invariants will be checked on entry to most
// member functions. Additionally, if AIPS_ARRAY_INDEX_CHECK is defined
// index operations will be bounds-checked. Neither of these should
// be defined for production code.
