+// have a sparsely initialised vector where the full size is allocated upfront
+// with the default constructor and elements are initialised later, on first
+// access.
+//
+// Notice that this does not have iterators, because if you
+// have iterators it probably means you are going to touch
+// all the memory in any case, so better use a std::vector in
+// the first place.

Why not use size_t/unsigned for page size? Do we support negative numbers or keep them as reserved for some future use?
