That was done to insure that the interfaces are as general
as possible. We don't want to force people to use the GSL
containers. Not everybody wants the heap management, etc,
that is implicit in the main containers, and forcing them
to use the "view" containers is not very polite.
In my opinion, the containers are badly designed.
Don't bake them into the interfaces.
