True, though you have the admit that is a bit odd and inconsistent with the
STL. If someone really wants the optimized returns, I would maybe consider
having them named differently from those of container concepts but still
supporting STL-style accessors by default. This way, generic code written
for standard containers will work with your types.

Oh wow, I had no idea. If that's true, I'm a little bit concerned, though if
it went through review fine maybe I'm just being too pedantic.
