vector<> can probably never grow to it's maximum size!

This is interesting, but I cannot understand anymore what you want to work
on!! Do you want to work on a new allocator? Or improve the conformance
of std::vector? Or specialize its behavior for a new allocator? Or you want
to change the standard as far as vector memory allocation is concerned?

I'm confused, just let us know and we can plan the *remaining* tasks... ;)
