+/// A vector that allocates memory in pages.
+///
+/// Order is kept, but memory is allocated only when one element of the page is
+/// accessed. This introduces a level of indirection, but it is useful when you
+/// have a sparsely initialised vector where the full size is allocated upfront.
+///
+/// As a side effect the elements are initialised later than in a normal vector.
+/// On the first access to one of the elements of a given page, all the elements
+/// of the page are initialised. This also means that the elements of the page
+/// are initialised beyond the size of the vector.
+///
+/// Similarly on destruction the elements are destroyed only when the page is
+/// not needed anymore, delaying invoking the destructor of the elements.
+///
+/// Notice that this has iterators only on materialized elements. This
+/// is deliberately done under the assumption you would dereference the elements
+/// while iterating, therefore materialising them and losing the gains in terms
+/// of memory usage this container provides. If you have such a use case, you
+/// probably want to use a normal std::vector or a llvm::SmallVector.

I don't think the additional explanation is necessary here; every LLVM developer should know what `size()` on a container does. If you'd prefer to keep the comments, then they're both inaccurate (it's the maximum index that can be accessed *plus 1*, and it's the most recent value passed to `resize` not the maximum).
