I see. To put it in my own words: Any direct modification of items in a  
multi_index_container results in undefined behavior as there is no way for  
the multi_index_container to make sure that the modification is actually  
allowed for the defined indexes. While it might be possible for a  
developer to make sure himself that a modification is allowed there can  
never be a guarantee by the specification of multi_index_container as the  
question if it's really allowed depends on the implementation of  
multi_index_container. Is this correct now? :)
