CONSTEXPR CONTAINER LIBRARY

STYLE
A conversion to the Boost style is required, reducing lines to a maximum of 80
characters long and replacing all tabs with spaces.

EXAMPLES
See the examples directory for how to use this library (currently only describes
an implementation detail that is not guaranteed to be stable).

FUTURE
Moving forwards there will be containers such as vector<T, Storage> and
basic_string<T, Storage> that utilize detail::basic_list<T, N> as the backing
storage for the data.

These containers will hold a size member internally and provide as many of the
methods from their standard-library equivalents as possible.

basic_list will also be modified so that when T = std::size_t there is no
ambiguity between erase(size_type pos, T const& value) and
erase(size_type first, size_type last).
Finally insert(size_type pos, std::initializer_list<T> values) will be replaced
by a method taking a begin and end iterator for versatility and the higher-level
containers can then use begin and end on their initializer_lists to assign to
the underlying basic_list.

The macros used to test basic_list need to be extended and require a script to
check for expected compilation failures.

Also it is important to research techniques to minimize the depth of recursion as
C++11 only guarantees a call stack of 512.  Theoretically a basic_list<N> could
be replaced by an array of two basic_list<ceiling(N/2)>s which should halve the
depth required for initialization.  All methods should take care to ensure the
fewest number of mutations as each one requires making a complete copy of the
object being mutated, possibly we can store a list of transformations to make
and apply them all at the same time.
