    The <code>capacity()</code> represents the capacity
    of the <code>circular_buffer_space_optimized</code> and
    the <code>min_capacity()</code> determines the minimal allocated size of its internal buffer.
 </p>
 <p>The converting constructor of the <code>capacity_control</code> allows implicit conversion from
  <code>size_type</code>-like types which ensures compatibility of creating an instance of the
  <code>circular_buffer_space_optimized</code> with other STL containers.

  On the other hand the operator <code>%size_type()</code>
  provides implicit conversion to the <code>size_type</code> which allows to treat the
  capacity of the <code>circular_buffer_space_optimized</code> the same way as in the
  <code>circular_buffer</a></code>.
