The C++0x FCD states in 23.3.6.2 vector capacity:
void shrink_to_fit();Remarks: shrink_to_fit is a non-binding request to reduce capacity() to size(). [Note: The request is non-binding to allow latitude for implementation-specific optimizations. —end note]
Why is it non-binding, and what optimizations are intended to be allowed?
