OK, So as to get to the bottom of this. Do you really want to perform vector
operations on a vector that consists of a concatenation of all rows (or
columns) of the matrix do you want to get access to the storage to pass your
information to another library.

The latter case is dealt with in the boost-sandbox/boost/numeric/bindings.
There we've spend effort to be able to extract the begin- and end-pointer
(not iterator) from any vector or matrix. (In the bindings it's used to pass
these pointers to e.g. BLAS)

In the former case, could you enlighten me what kind of numeric operations
you're dealing with ?
