What does is_container mean? Does it imply that I can access a begin() member function?

What about versioning: some C++11 STL containers have a shrink_to_fit member function that the C++98 STL containers don't have.

I would bet something like [1]. Or, alternatively, if the user explicitly specializes his homebrew container as such.

Ah, the concept of course, that a very clear definition. Thanks for pointing that out. Sounds like a great idea, it could be very helpful.
