Yeah - I agree that it should point to one past the end since that is
how other container types behave. I checked the C++ standard
[lib.container.requirements] and it has this to say
"begin() returns an iterator referring to the first element in the
container. end() returns an iterator which is the past-the-end value
for the container. If the container is empty, then begin() == end();"
