These functions look like this:
template<class E>
void foo(const vector_expression<E> &e);
vector<double> d;
vector<void*> p;
if you call foo(d) then E becomes vector<double> because vector_expression<
vector<double> > is the base class of vector<double> (see CRTP). Thus
E::value_type is exactly the same as vector<double>::value_type which indeed
is 'double'.
If you call foo(p) then E::value_type is 'void*'.
