Actually, it is possible (without type-erasure), but you need
an additional wrapping functor (like the MultIndexResolver) for
the leaf access. OK, it does not really return a mutable reference
to the vector values (since this is impossible with the static type
system of c++, as you mentioned), but instead one could implement
something like an assignment-proxy for the mutable access and some
value-proxy for the const-access. With this technique, I have implement the
hierarchicWrapperTest for the
MultiTypeVector<std::vector<std::bitset<N>>, std::vector<bool>>.
But, to be honest, this solution is not so very nice. You have two
wrapping functors and you need a terminal operation, like assignment
or value comparison. So it's maybe not what we want here.

Maybe I get this wrong. The pure vector-datastructure does not encode
the hierarchy we need for the recursion, since e.g. the leaf nodes
could also be
vector types. The coefficient type could be a break condition for the
recursion,
but must be provided. The nesting-structure could also be a break
condition for
the recursion, but must also be provided.
The nesting-structure itself is not directly related to a (pre)basis or
its implementation. It is just a light-weight description of the hierarchy.
So, it can be described independently of the basis, but could also be
extracted
from the basis.
The last step is tightly coupled to the concrete prebasis
datastructure and implementation, currently. This is probably not the
best solution.
I see, that this is a lot about data-structures and how they are related to a
global basis. But dune-functions is more about the bases itself, right? So,
it does not fit really in this module.
