Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems you're complaining that v[5]
doesn't do bounds checking?
The standard does not require bounds checking on array subscript,
though it seems there's
nothing saying it shouldn't bounds check. But there's the alternate
v.at(5) notation if you do need
bounds checking.
