I totally agree.  I never want to insist that this is my invention.

As many of you have responded already, this tiny trick could have a
great impact on performance (and possiblely space) in many
applications.  It's very useful and also quite generic.  I suspect
everybody (including myself) has written her/his `incomplete' class of
this kind once (or more), and is using it.  This is nothing but
exhausting.  I believe it's worth being in Boost and it should be.

This is the reason why I tried to write a `complete' version as far as
possible, and posted it to Boost.

I have changed the class name to `fixed_capacity_vector' and made
small modifications to it.  You can find the updated version at

  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/fixed_capacity_vector.hpp
