I guess that the (not-yet-existing) indexable_space class (name
non-definitive) could be made Assignable without much problem. However, I am
not a computer scientist and I would not have thought this to be an
important point. If there turns out to be a demand for the proposed library,
this kind of considerations would definitely be one point where I need the
input of the community.
