19<h4>Description</h4>
20<p>Storage is a variable-size container whose elements are arranged in a strict linear order.
21<p>Storage extends the STL Container concept with some STL Sequence-like functionality. The main difference with
22the Sequence concept however is that the Storage concept does not require default-initialisation of its
23elements.
