@ -27,4 +27,38 @@ range. This leaves the more expensive methods, such as Knuth's Multiplicative
Method which don't tend to work as well as taking the modulous of a prime,
have little efficiency advantage and don't work well for (TODO: what are they called?).

258. Missing allocator requirement]]
Need to look into this one.

431. Swapping containers with unequal allocators]]
In a fit of probably unwise enthusiasm, I implemented all the three versions
with a macro (BOOST_UNORDERED_SWAP_METHOD) to pick which one is used. As
suggested by Howard Hinnant, I set option 3 as the default. I'll probably remove
the alternative implementations before review.

518. Are insert and erase stable for unordered_multiset and unordered_multimap?]]
In this implementation, erase is stable but insert is not. As long as a rehash
can change the order of the elements, insert can't be.

528. TR1: issue 6.19 vs 6.3.4.3/2 (and 6.3.4.5/2)]]
In the current implementation, for unordered_set and
unordered_multiset, iterator and const_iterator have the same type and
local_iterator and const_local_iterator also have the same type. This makes it
impossible to implement the header exactly as described in the synopsis, as
some member functions are overloaded by the same type.
According to the proposed resolution,
[:If they are the same type, those signatures that become otherwise indistinguishable collapse into a single signature.]
So I'm following that - although this means that the header and documentation
are currently inconsistent. This will be fixed before review submission.
