Hi,

Have you considered to provide access to some kind of containers views 
that behave like standard containers

|     heterovector<int, double, std::string, double> hv;
     hv.view<int>.push_back(2);
     hv.|||view<int>.|push_back(3.1415); // defaults to first double element
     hv.view<double, 0>.|||push_back|(9); // specifically denote first double element

     auto hvi =|||hv.view<int>;|

     // print all integers
     for (auto itr =|||hvi|.begin(); itr != hvi.end(); ++itr)
         std::cout << *itr << std::endl;|

In this way you will be able to use any algorithm of the standard library.

Best,
Vicente
