How?? If a container have `get(K)->V` and `remove(K)->V` then how does it preserve this invariant? This is an impossible contract to satisfy once you try to push once and pop twice. The container is promising you something that it can't satisfy, I would rather have a container that's honest with `get(key)->Maybe(value)`.
