+<p>
+ Unconstrained sets allow the user to disable one of the views of a bimap.
+ Doing so makes the bimap operations execute faster and reduces memory consumption.
+ This completes the bidirectional mapping framework by including unidirectional
+ mappings as a particular case.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Unconstrained sets are useful for the following reasons:
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
+<li class="listitem">
+ A bimap type has stronger guarantees than its standard equivalent, and
+ includes some useful functions (replace, modify) that the standard does
+ not have.
+ </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+ You can view the mapping as a collection of relations.
+ </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+ Using this kind of map makes the code very extensible. If, at any moment
+ of the development, the need to perform searches from the right side
+ of the mapping arises, the only necessary change is to the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">typedef</span></code>.
