I've uploaded a work in progress on the container design here:
Great! Some nitpicky comments:
1. What's the difference between a value and an element?
None.
Then I suggest sticking with one or the other throughout the spec. Also,
there's both an ElementType and a ValueType.
Sorry, I was wrong. ValueType is defined for keyed containers to mean
the mapped type. Should I call it MappedType?
Can a container have different ElementTypes from ValueTypes?
For a hash K->V, KeyType is K, ValueType is V, and ElementType is
Tuple!(K, V).

How about simple arrays? There's a lot of similarity between T[] and T[int]...
A simple array doesn't have a Tuple as the unit of storage. Indexing is
a consequence of array's layout so I consider it different.
Andrei
if I understand your logic, then a trie would also lack a (key,value) tuple for
the element type?
I'm not sure!
