Ah...nicely put. I empathize with you...come to think of it, STL code is so gobble-de-gook (for obvious 'copyright' reasons). Ugh. Thank God MFC wasn't mangled. Every time I look at the STL code I feel like punching someone. Whilst I understand the reasons, the authors aren't doing themselves any favours - it just makes STL harder to use. The crap documentation doesn't help either - but at least that's supposed to be better in VS.NET. :) Come to think about it, can anybody confirm that it is?
