This library is open source and free for anyone to use.

Thanks to Francios Andrieux and Artyer on Stackoverflow for helping me with template overloading: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55422966/how-to-have-variadic-templates-with-a-type-and-a-size
This update removes all of the included libraries and macros and makes powerful uses of templates. This makes this program a lot more efficient as you no longer need to include all of the libraries in the standard template library.
I have changed the way you print out the containers. Instead of calling print(myContainer);, you can now simply do std::cout << myContainer << std::endl;.
You will need a compiler which supports C++ 14 or higher.
Simply include the header file,containers.hpp, located in the Lib folder. If you can, include the Lib folder into your project.
When you want to construct a new container you may do either of the two options:
int main()
{
container::Cont<std::vector<int>> myVector("myVector");
auto myVector2 = container::make_cont<std::vector<int>>("myVector2");
}You may treat myVector or myVector2 as any normal std::vector, such as myVector.push_back(4); However, as of right now, you cannot bracket initialize a Cont<std::vector<T>> or assign another std::vector<T> to Cont<std::vector<T>>. This will be implemented in a future update.
