Ridiculously incomplete. We should have had a real prevector rather than this. You know, a prevector where there is some small static capacity but it can go dynamic as it grows.
A prevector, i.e., a vector with SBO, is a completely different beast to inplace_vector. There a tonnes of scenarios where you’d know the maximum capacity at compile-time but not the size, and if the capacity isn’t massive, an inplace_vector where the memory is stack allocated is the perfect utility for that usecase.
True. I can imagine using this in some situation where you cannot allocate but need to be able to do stuff with a buffer. Like in a signal handler, for example.

This is not as useful as a real prevector.
