namespace base {

// flat_set is a container with a std::set-like interface that stores its
// contents in a sorted vector.
//
// Please see //base/containers/README.md for an overview of which container
// to select.
//
// PROS
//
//  - Good memory locality.
//  - Low overhead, especially for smaller sets.
//  - Performance is good for more workloads than you might expect (see
//    overview link above).
//  - 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 std::vector and moving that vector 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(InputIterator first, InputIterator last,
//            const Compare& compare = Compare());
//   flat_set(const flat_set&);
//   flat_set(flat_set&&);
//   flat_set(const std::vector<Key>& items,
//            const Compare& compare = Compare());
//   flat_set(std::vector<Key>&& items,
//            const Compare& compare = Compare());  // Re-use storage.
//   flat_set(std::initializer_list<value_type> ilist,
//            const Compare& comp = Compare());
//
// Assignment functions:
//   flat_set& operator=(const flat_set&);
//   flat_set& operator=(flat_set&&);

//   pair<iterator, bool> emplace(Args&&...);
//   iterator             emplace_hint(const_iterator, Args&&...);

//   underlying_type      extract() &&;
//   void                 replace(underlying_type&&);
//
// Erase functions:
//   iterator erase(iterator);
//   iterator erase(const_iterator);
//   iterator erase(const_iterator first, const_iterator& last);
//   template <typename K> size_t erase(const K& key);
//
// Comparators (see std::set documentation).
//   key_compare   key_comp() const;
//   value_compare value_comp() const;
//
// Search functions:
