Thanks for the explanation, Vicente.
I can't use that approach for various reasons. Here's my implementation 
of a "contiguous map" if anyone else is interested: 
http://pastebin.com/dKzRfkMm

it works like a std::map, except that the key_type is always 
std::size_t, and after a map.insert(make_pair(100,v)), even though 
map.size() is 1, the internal vector has a size of 101.
so the keys must be fairly contiguous to not waste space, but not 
completely.
