 *
 *  VectorBuilder allocates type T1 values to be used as
 *  intermediate values. There are 2 template parameters:
 *  - used: boolean variable indicating whether this instance
 *      is used. If this is false, there is no storage allocated
 *      and operator[] throws.
 *  - is_vec: boolean variable indicating whether this instance
 *      should allocate a vector, if it is used. If this is false,
 *      the instance will only allocate a single double value.
 *      If this is true, it will allocate the number requested.
 *      Note that this is calculated based on template parameters
 *      T2 through T7.
 *
 *  These values are mutable.
