Specification should clarify order of type and count in optimized containers #40

The text does not specify the order of type and count options when both are present.

Does type precede count ? Does count precede type ? Or are both orders supported ?

Great catch, it absolutely should be concretely specified (it is sort of implied right now from the examples and optional qualifications).

To your specific questions:

  1. Yes, if it is provided (optional)
  2. No, if type is provided, count must always come after.
  3. No
