<PRE>
const_associative_property_map&lt;UniquePairAssociativeContainer&gt;
</PRE>

<P>
This property map is an adaptor that converts any type that is a model
of both <a
href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/PairAssociativeContainer.html">Pair
Associative Container</a> and <a
href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/UniqueAssociativeContainer.html">Unique
Associative Container</a> such as <a
href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Map.html"><tt>std::map</tt></a> into
a constant <a href="./LvaluePropertyMap.html">Lvalue Property Map</a>.
Note that the adaptor only retains a reference to the container, so
the lifetime of the container must encompass the use of the adaptor.
</P>
