To be honest, I've never given it a second thought in the case of STL. I guess
that's because nobody tried to "sell" me STL as something abstract and generic,
so I've never critically judged it in that light :-P

Well, whether this is not the place to complain about that is questionable --
the future needs not repeat the mistakes of the past.. (of course, whether this
particular issue is a "mistake" is also debatable, so best to drop it, things
are as they are, for better or for worse :))
