// Design rationale:
//
// idx_vector is a reference-counting, polymorphic pointer, that can
// contain 4 types of index objects: a magic colon, a range, a scalar,
// or an index vector.
//
// Polymorphic methods for single element access are provided, as well
// as templates implementing "early dispatch", i.e., hoisting the checks
// for index type out of loops.
