Comment (by jaredgrubb@…):

 It just seems odd that all these work:
 {{{
     U = T
     U %= T
     std::vector<U> %= (*T)
     at_c<n>(U) = T
 }}}

  but this fails:

 {{{
     at_c<n>(std::vector<U>) = std::vector<T>
 }}}

 I was able to work around the issue by using phx::assign, but it just
 seems inconsistent, especially since there doesnt appear to be any useful
 way to combine at_c with a vector of byte_'s
 (std::vector<boost::integer::endian<2, unsigned char, 8, 0> just doesnt
 seem to be the right way to do it, and it looks like that should be
 convertible to std::vector<unsigned char>). But, if it's "wontfix", I'll
 let it go. Thanks.
