Point to the markdown as well?

Done.

+// The following known differences apply:
+// - The constructor and emplace method using initializer_list are not
+//   implemented because 'initializer_list' is banned from Chromium.
+// - Constructors do not use 'constexpr' as it is a C++14 extension.
+// - 'constexpr' might be missing in some places for reasons specified locally.
+// - No exceptions are thrown, because they are banned from Chromium.
+// - All the non-members are in the 'base' namespace instead of 'std'.
