## Description

A multimap is a kind of associative container that supports equivalent keys (possibly containing multiple copies of the same key value) and provides for fast retrieval of values of another type T based on the keys. The multimap class supports bidirectional iterators.

A multimap satisfies all of the requirements of a container and of a reversible container and of an associative container. The `value_type` stored by this container is the value_type is std::pair<const Key, T>.

### Template Parameters

1.     typename Key

   is the key_type of the map

2.     typename T

3.     typename Compare = std::less<Key>

   is the ordering function for Keys (e.g. std::less<Key>).

4.     typename Allocator = new_allocator< std::pair< const Key, T> >

   is the allocator to allocate the `value_type`s (e.g. allocator< std::pair<const Key, T> > ).

5.     typename Options = tree_assoc_defaults

   is an packed option type generated using using `boost::container::tree_assoc_options`.
