`std::vector<bool>` is a specialized implementation that is done differently from the other vectors & types because of the need to do the underlying bit packing.

Other types come out in the wash on their own.

I recently looked at `std::unordered_map` and noticed a bit of a
bizarre handling of `std::hash` in the standard library.
Why of all types that could be useful, does the standard define only
`std::vector<bool>`?
Where `std::tuple` or other vectors are left unusable.

What is the reason for standard not defining
`std::hash<std::vector<T>>` if `T` has a hash?
And why is `bool` the only exception there? What was the motivation for this?
