At the end of the day, this is just a container but one that may or may not own the underlying memory. If it does, people can use it as they use any other container. If it does not, people may still sue it as they use any other container but changes to the lifetime of the underlying memory will potentially cause UB down the line.

It is not about the performance rather than to reduce mem usage. We may have a lot of context selectors, very complex, associated woth the same function. And I don't think it is a bad idea to reuse the previously allocated memory rather than allocate a new one and increase the memory pressure for the compiler

We may have a different comtainer type there, like `UniqurVector`, or itertor_range, for example, or something else, not completely compatible with the `VectorType` itself.

It means that we need to introduce another one template parameter for the score. Are you ok with the third template param for the type of the score?

Ok, will do.
