Yeah! And don't use objects, or those crazy constructors and
destructors semantics, better to just treat it as C with // comments! ;-)

Seriously though, I have a sneaking suspicion that most of the core

of STL being too reliant on templates in ways that weren't portable
enough to current compilers. So it seems they are in agreement with you.)
