Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No, specifically, but it is forcing everyone to choose another container type

Describe the solution you'd like
Add new types of containers in the c4 template provided

Describe alternatives you've considered
As an alternative I will be using something that is not descriptive as you have it on your other components to try to mimic the different container options available today. If you go to the c4model.com you can see an example of the containers you are missing, attached are the examples

Go to your c4 template and you will see the missing pieces there
