Hi!

I'm currently playing around with boost::tuple and std::vector. I  
noticed that having a std::vector containing boost::tuple elements has  
"dense" memory layout.
My question: is this intended behavior, or will it go away in the  
future? (The current state is much to my advantage: instead of  
allocating memory C style and copying lots of data in order to feed  
some C API, I can reinterpret_cast a pointer, and everything is fine.)

Thanks
Sebastian
