It has iterators. Its interface is as close to std container as possible. It 
actually (almost) is a standard container - I think the only thing it misses 
at the moment is max_size() (correct me if I'm wrong). You have find, 
insert, push_back, the lot. You can use BOOST_FOREACH on it. You can use 
algorithms on it (just keep in mind it is not sorted by key unless you do 
that explicitly).
