// flat_set is a container with a std::set-like interface that stores its
// contents in a sorted container, by default a vector.
//
// Its implementation mostly tracks the corresponding standardization proposal
// https://wg21.link/P1222.
//
//
// PROS
//
//  - Good memory locality.
//  - Low overhead, especially for smaller sets.
//  - Performance is good for more workloads than you might expect (see
//    //base/containers/README.md in Chromium repository)
//  - Supports C++14 set interface.
//
// CONS
//
//  - Inserts and removals are O(n).
//
// IMPORTANT NOTES
//
//  - Iterators are invalidated across mutations.
//  - If possible, construct a flat_set in one operation by inserting into
//    a container and moving that container into the flat_set constructor.
//  - For multiple removals use base::EraseIf() which is O(n) rather than
//    O(n * removed_items).
//
// QUICK REFERENCE
//
// Most of the core functionality is inherited from flat_tree. Please see
// flat_tree.h for more details for most of these functions. As a quick
// reference, the functions available are:
//
// Constructors (inputs need not be sorted):
//   flat_set(const flat_set&);
//   flat_set(flat_set&&);
//   flat_set(InputIterator first, InputIterator last,
//            const Compare& compare = Compare());
//   flat_set(const container_type& items,
//            const Compare& compare = Compare());
//   flat_set(container_type&& items,
//            const Compare& compare = Compare());  // Re-use storage.
//   flat_set(std::initializer_list<value_type> ilist,
//            const Compare& comp = Compare());
//
// Constructors (inputs need to be sorted):
//   flat_set(sorted_unique_t,
//            InputIterator first, InputIterator last,

//   flat_set(sorted_unique_t,
//            const container_type& items,
//            const Compare& compare = Compare());
//   flat_set(sorted_unique_t,
//            container_type&& items,
//            const Compare& compare = Compare());  // Re-use storage.
