shape() is more concise than `size() + has_overflow() + has_underflow()`, and the doxy string explains what it returns. If you have a better name, let me know

I suppose total_size() or full_size() is more intuitive, but of course not so elegant to have both size() and total_size().

total_size() is less ambiguous than shape(), so I am half-convinced. I would like to have one-word method instead of two-word method.

I'm not great in naming things, but perhaps: size() shape -> capacity() // as total size including optionally enabled space uoflow() -> tails() Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
