reference_flat_set
reference_flat_set.hSimilar to:
std::setA fixed capacity set based on a sorted vector.
The container stores references to objects, rather than the objects themselves.
The container is an associative lookup table with O(N) insertion and erase, and O(log N) search.
This container is best used for tables that are occasionally updated and spend most of their time being searched.
The interface is most similar to std::set.
Uses etl::less as the default key comparison method.
etl::reference_flat_set<typename T, const size_t SIZE, TCompare = etl::less>Inherits from etl::ireference_flat_set<T, TCompare>.
etl::ireference_flat_set may be used as a size independent pointer or reference type for any etl::reference_flat_set instance.

How it works
Reference flat sets are different from the normal version in that the elements are not copied, but linked directly.
This means that the lifetime of the element inserted must be as great as that of the set that contains it.
Unlike most other reference containers, the set has a finite capacity.
Flat sets are usually implemented internally as a sorted vector of values. Whilst this makes searching fast, it can have a detrimental effect when items are inserted into a container that stores complex, non-trivial values.
As Inserting requires that all of the items above the insert position must be shifted, this can become an expensive operation for larger containers.
To improve insertion performance ETL reference flat sets are implemented as vectors of pointers to values, sorted by value. An insertion will involve a copy of a range of pointers; an operation that can be made very fast.
The downside is that access to an item via an iterator will involve one indirection and the overhead of the container will be one pointer per item. A normal flat set implementation does not have this overhead.
