!> This module provides some convenience functions to access complete vectors
!! from a lua table at once.
!!
!! It provides two generic interfaces, one for vectors inside tables, and one
!! for vectors defined as global variables (get_config_val).
!! Vectors might be accessed with a variable length, to be defined by the
!! Lua table and allocated in the get_ routines or with a fixed length.
!! For the variable length vectors, a maximal length has to be provided
!! up to which the vector might be allocated.
!! Otherwise the interfaces correspond to the scalar retrieval operations.
