1) vectors only use heap if you want them to.  The allocators for C++
standard containers can be easily replaced.  When I use them in
embedded systems, I have a deterministic allocator I used.
2) Whether or not a vector is bounded or not is immaterial.  It's
bounds are under the control of the user.  If I need a 10 element
vector, I create one.  What does it matter that I could add more?
