Re: fixed_array in storage.hpp

Std::array hasn't any constructor defined in C++11, so the initialization
is done as:

std::array<int, 4> v = { { 1, 2, 3, 4} };

C++14 only defines the list constructor to std::array (as you've
wrote: fixed_vector<double,3>
v( {0, 1, 2} ) ;).



Respecting to the "lambda initialiation", I see it as a way to initialize
an array (or a vector, in general) following series like:

i^k: 0, 1, 4, 9, ....
k*i: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8,....
k: 5, 5, 5, 5,....
('k' is a constant value and 'i', the index of the elements of the array)
