<p>You can use <tt class="docutils literal">transfer()</tt> to move elements between two containers of the same type. Furthermore,
you can also move elements from a container of type <tt class="docutils literal">T</tt> to a container of type <tt class="docutils literal">U</tt> as long as
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">T::value_type</span></tt> is convertible to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">U::value_type</span></tt>. An example would be transferring from <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">boost::ptr_vector&lt;Derived&gt;</span></tt>
to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">boost::ptr_deque&lt;Base&gt;</span></tt>.</p>
<p>(<strong>Remark:</strong> <em>When moving elements between two different containers, it is your responsibility to make sure the allocators are compatible.</em>
<em>The special latitude of being able to transfer between two different containers is only available for Sequences and not for Associative Containers.</em>)</p>
