This template is a helper template used by the indirect subscript operator
indirect_array<T> valarray<T>::operator[](const valarray<size_t>&).
It has reference semantics to a subset of an array specified by an indirect_array. Thus the expression a[indirect] = b; has the effect of assigning the elements of b to the elements in a whose indices appear in indirect.
