I'd like to speak up for the 'functional' library, which I think is a 
very important ease-of-use extension of the standard library. It also 
uses call_traits, which uses type_traits, so those are obviously more 
important. One of the things it deals with is references to references; 
if the core language were to address that directly, that aspect of the 
library could easily be dropped.

Anyway, I use functional all the time now, and don't know if I could 
deal with all the shenanigans to use the strict standard functional 
anymore...
