True, you do need provide a method and a type to key the data, but I
believe that if someone can provide a less than operator they surely can
provide these. (Well if all elements are of finite size) This should handle
arbitrary Elements. Of course as the key size grows so does the constant
time modifier, but this is a design time consideration so the designer can
expect stable performance in the field over all data combinations.
