The STL vector and map are only used within the elbeem code, and there I
took care that its not confused with the algebra vectors - those are
called _Vec e.g. ParamVec.

That's inconvenient - I think it's valid c++ code, and used extensively
in the solver.

That's a common operation for an LBM solver (do {} for all distribution
functions), so it increases readability of the source code quite a bit.

Btw. - is the MSVC6 compiler still used a lot? I tried the MSVC++
Toolkit2003 (thus MSVC7  compiler), and that works :) Maybe the solver
code should be disabled for MSVC6 for now?
