Matt is working on wording to not just have "ordered set" and "hashed map"
but also "ordered map" and "hashed set" in the AI. It is very hard to
include /every/(!) possible container type into the standard without the
size of the standard exploding to the point that most of it is taken up with
container libraries!

Hopefully, we can get an IWA for expanding the Ada.Container.* packages in
an orderly fashion...
