I've got another problem which required a definition of "contained data"
only I called it "iterior data".  However, then I remembered:

   http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2006/01/99387.php

which suggests "subobject" maybe a better term.  Would it be desirable
to use "subobject" in your description instead of "contained data"
in order to avoid a proliferation of aliased terms?
