 * \brief       Traits which allow to define ProxyReferences for types
 * 
 * A ProxyReference can be used in the context of abstract functions to bind several related types
 * of arguments to a single proxy type. Main use are ublas expression templates so that
 * vectors, matrix rows and subvectors can be treated as one argument type
 *
