STL has other things that are of great use to C++ developers -- sets
and a bunch of generic algorithms to name a few. But STL looses its
beauty without the type safety. And Python is not type safe. I guess
the only feature that I really miss is std::set. But a set can be
implemented as a dictionary that uses the same object as both the key
and the value.
