The amount of distinct configurations is measured in the millions.

Of course, I'm talking about a slightly different thing. Namely the 
concept of a sequence container.

Some additional directions:
- error checking & reporting (these are two different things)
- thread related issues
- iterator in/validation
- interface & performance issues (which operations to provide in 
specified complexity bounds)

I can hardly think of a situation in which a standard container would 
not be sub-optimal. If not for performance, then at least for 
convenience of use. I'd particular like to see the following 
operations as members:
- sequence_container.for_each()
- sequence_container.fold_left()
- sequence_container.fold_right()
