This is doubtful, albeit you would have had to look somewhere to
find what you wanted... that I don't doubt. It wasn't so long ago
that STL was just a glimmer in the C++ standard's eye, and was
nothing more than a yet another template library from yet another
unix vendor. This isn't to argue the genuine usefulness of pythons
generic container classes, of course; obviously I'm sold. :)-
