+The intent of Boost.Unordered is to implement a close (but inperfect)
+implementation of the C++17 standard, that will work with C++98 upwards.
+The wide compatibility does mean some comprimises have to be made.
+With a compiler and library that fully support C++11, the differences should
+be minor.
