Your:

vector<int> primes;
set_cont( v ) += 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11;

isn't 'really' an initialization. The vector gets default constructed 
first. Still, the functionality seems pretty nice. But I'm personally 
not such a fan of operator overloading 'mutilation' as in the IOStreams, 
Boost.Format and your set_cont.
