Can this be done via a special Allocator? I think the least intrusive method 
should be to have an allocator that initilizes the new storage and to have 
one that does not do this. (The change would be to call alloc.contruct(..) 
instead of explicite use value_type(). Right?)

The same can be done by using the copy constructor:

vector<double> v = scalar_vector<double>(size, value);

IMO the default behaviour of 'no construction' should be enough.
