Review comment:
       My point is that if you write a container, then it should behave like a 
canonical container so that it can work as a drop-in replacement for at least 
some containers. Named requirements (i.e. concepts) just clarify the properties 
of a canonical container so that implementors have guidelines to follow and 
users have an interface to code against. They are just the generic programming 
equivalent of an interface, with less dependencies and less opportunity for the 
compiler to check whether the requirements are satisfied. You can not implement 
`java.util.Collection` without implementing `isEmpty`, but the compiler can not 
yet enforce that your Collection implementation has `empty`.
   
   I think the closer the satisfied concepts are to the reality, the better. 
Ideally, this would satisfy AssociativeContainer and iterators would satisfy 
RandomAccessIterator, but I'm OK with postponing the implementation of stricter 
requirements until they are actually needed.
