Hi all,

I have design a new concept of container to be part of the cpo library.

In summary, those containers will break down the inserted objects into some elementary parts.

Why do that? Short answer: to save memory.

I do believe this will also kill the cache in most cases.

It depends on data processing pattern. If this container performs AoS <-> SoA transformation, it can be useful for parallel/vectorized data processing. However, I don't see how this container could be implemented generically for arbitrary types. I would be interested to see such implementation.
