I might find some time to do it. After all, it is needed for the string_algo anyway,
and putting it to ConceptCheck library makes much more sense.

Maybe I can provide concept checking classes and you can move Collection.html to the proper
place and adapt the docs...

Good Idea. 

Then there is nothing in the way to adopt this concept as a reference for container_traits. 
And it seems, that it will make sense to rename container_traits to collection_traits.
