Convert TinyVector to std::array (C++11)
It seems that TinyVector and std::array do the same thing. So consider typedefing one to the other when using a C++11 compiler.
Unless I'm mistaken, std::array does not define any math operators. That said, it might be possible to usefully leverage it as the backend to TinyVector.
In using blitz::Array, I'm doing too many unnecessary conversions between std::array and TinyVector. We can define the math operations externally to the class. But yes, it seems that simple typedef won't work.

Maybe the solution is to add an implicit constructor to TinyVector from std::array. The "needless" conversion would still be happening. But it would now be under the hood and we probably won't care. This would be a more backwards-compatible way of doing things.
