9 It is based heavily on policy-based design and uses many useful
10 techniques from Modern C++ Design: Generic Programming and Design
11 Patterns Applied by Andrei Alexandrescu.
13 Two ideas are borrowed from the SGI-STL implementation:

15 The prime-based resize policies use a list of primes taken from

18 The red-black trees contain both a root node and a header node
19 (containing metadata), connected in a way that forward and
20 reverse iteration can be performed efficiently.
