In fact, it is more a multi_array<entry<...>, 2>...

Or a tree-like container for file management, etc.

By the way, this should be defined in the Boost Library:

template <typename T>
        struct tree
        {
                list<T> element;
                list<tree> children;
        };

You get the idea that you have more control of how you wish to represent you
container data & individual entries this way.
