| For *icl* containers the single `size` function known from std containers |
| branches into tree to five different members functions. |
| The table above shows the types, `size` functions are implemented for, |
| together with their *complexities*. Linear complexities __On__ refer to the container's |
| `iterative_size`: |
| `` |
| n = y.iterative_size() |
| `` |
| |
| The next table gives a short definition for the different size functions. |
