Yes, indeed, it looks, lol. That's precisely the reason why I opened thi=
s  =

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 =E2=80=9Crandomly=E2=80=9D: the siz=
e 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.
