Yes, indeed, it looks, lol. That's precisely the reason why I opened this  
topic. I would hardly believe something that usefulness belongs to the  
standard packages, so I guess I am missing something, and would like to  
learn what it is. Is this a kind of holder container?

It's implementation defined, but not “randomly”: the size correspond to  
the count of storage elements (it self, implementation defined) required  
to store an instance of the element type which is the parameter of the  
generic package. That's implementation defined, but predictable.
