or *obj.begin()[n]. So there are plenty of ways to get a refence into the array.
True, though you have the admit that is a bit odd and inconsistent with the STL. If someone really wants the optimized returns, I would maybe consider having them named differently from those of container concepts but still supporting STL-style accessors by default. This way, generic code written for standard containers will work with your types.
Well, it has to be generic code that iterates over a const container, and that tries to store a const reference to an object non-locally via operator[]. Most generic code is based on iterators, and for *i there is no problem.

Maybe this is a good place to discuss this, but AFAIR, boost::circular_buffer does excatly this.
Oh wow, I had no idea. If that's true, I'm a little bit concerned, though if it went through review fine maybe I'm just being too pedantic.
I don't know id this was present before the review, or if it was added later. Any comments, Jan? -Thorsten
