Retrieve single elements or portions of the array.

The const overloads that return element sequences create a new std::valarray object. The non-const overloads return classes holding references to the array elements.

### [edit] Parameters

| This section is incomplete

### [edit] Return value

1,2) A reference to the corresponding element
3,5,7,9) A std::valarray object containing copies of the selected items
4,6,8,10) The corresponding data structure containing references to the selected items

### [edit] Exceptions

(none)

### [edit] Precondition

The selected elements must exist.

### [edit] Notes

- For proper values of `i` and `j`, the following properties are true:

1) (a[i] = q, a[i]) == q

  For a non-const `a`.

2) &a[i+j] == &a[i] + j

  This means that valarray elements are adjacent in memory.

3) &a[i] != &b[j]

  This holds for every objects `a` and `b` that are not aliases of one another.
  This means that there are no aliases in the elements and this property can be used to perform some kinds of optimization.

- References become invalid on resize or when the array is destructed.
