Hi all,
I agree with Andrea and I suppose that a solution to such problems would come from a horizontal or vertical concatenation expression template. It shouldn't be very hard to develop.
Furthermore to Jesses' answer, one may want to take a look at the generalized_vector_of_vector, that I think can be operated through pointers to stored vectors (maybe it needs a dangerous hack there though). The latter may suffice for what dari wants to do.
Best
