Not IMO though. Here's how I read it:

- "cardinality" as the first argument of a two-argument vector::vector
call strongly suggests it's the C++98 ctor.

- "allowed_" suggests boolean, so "true" looks like a default value.

BTW, the actual type is
    std::deque<bool> allowed_;
because at some time that was how I coded the not-a-container vector<bool>.
But recently I used std::vector<int> for that purpose. Which is better IYO?
