"Node-based" doesn't really distinguish enough. How about
container_traits<T>::exception_guarantee(operation)?

Also, we may need to do some interesting things to capture some of the
conditional guarantees. It would be nice if

container_traits<vector<int> >::exception_guarantee(op)

were boost::strong_guarantee or boost::no_throw_guarantee for all ops

Wheras

container_traits<vector<string> >::exception_guarantee(op) wouldn't have
this property.
