[Boost-users] Custom containers

Hello all,

If you were to write a container that had a certain size, say 6, but may not
always contain 6 items, say it contains 4, what would it be best to have the
following methods do?

size()		- returns 6 or 4?
end()			- returns an iterator on the 5th or 7th element?

I'm not sure if the standard way of writing such things dictates a certain
approach, or if it is purely down to the intended use.

Thanks for any information.

Gaz
