<h1>Generics</h1>

<p>
	Naturally, the ability to program generically different associative containers, is beneficial.
The distinction in this library between <a href = "data_type_defs.html">data_type</a>s and
<a href = "mapped_data_type_defs.html">mapped_data_type</a>s, and between <a href = "value_type_defs.html">value_type</a>s and
<a href = "mapped_value_type_defs.html">mapped_value_type</a>s, somewhat complicates this.
</p>

<p>
	The generic utility classes ease static detection of different associative-container
types (<i>e.g.</i>, whether they are map or multimap types), and the extraction of data from iterators.
