1a76fb46f3 Library: elaborate SeveralBuilder operations
Consider what (not) to support.
Notably I decided ''not to support'' moving out of an iterator,
since doing so would contradict the fundamental assumptions of
the »Lumiera Forward Iterator« Concept.

Start verifying some variations of element placement,
still focussing on the simple cases

773325f1bc Library: rearrange strategy code
Parts of the decision logic for element handling was packaged
as separate »strategy« class — but this turned out to be neither
a real abstraction, nor configurable in any way. Thus it is better
to simplify the structure and turn these type predicates into simple
private member functions of the SeveralBuilder itself

a3e8579e4a Library: basic functionality of the Several-container working
...passes the simplest unit test
 * create a Several<int>
 * populate from `std::initializer_list`
 * random-access to elements

''next step would be to implement iteration''

73dd24ecef Library: start design draft to replace RefArray
Some decisions
 - use a single template with policy base
 - population via separate builder class
 - implemented similar to vector (start/end)
 - but able to hold larger (subclass) objects

db30da90ce Invocation: consider storage and allocation of fan-in/fan-out
At the time of the initial design attempts, I naively created a
classic interface to describe an fixed container allocated ''elsewhere.''

Meanwhile the C++ language has evolved and this whole idea looks
much more as if it could be a ''Concept'' (C++20). Moreover, having
several implementations of such a container interface is deemed inadequate,
since it would necessitate ''at least two indirections'' — while
going the Concept + Template route would allow to work without any
indirection, given our current understanding that the `ProcNode` itself
is ''not an interface'' — rather a building block.
