More Modern C++ Primitives

[ax3l]

Hi @ogiroux,

thank you for your work, these free-standing functions are useful.

But I have to admit, what we really need and what we are constantly re-implementing are modern C++ primitives with __host__ __device__ annotations such as:

• containers: std::array and std::tuple (and their iterators)
• bonus container: std::vector of which one does actually just need its iterators on device, no resize needed
• type: std::complex

One does not need to take thrust for those, those types should just work out-of-the box with CUDA in a standard-compatible way.

Yes, I get this 100%. We're working on it.
