There is currently no template magic to define such indices, but I
can imagine, that these could be useful indeed: there are some sparse
matrix related assignments, which are implemented using tag
dispatching over a combination of container type and storage layout.
May be we can eliminate the storage layout there with the aid of your
proprosed iterator classification.
