- I find some of the requirements tables in the STL part of the April 95
- draft standard to be misleading. Consider table 2 in section
- 23 (Containers). The first entry, X::value_type, is listed as
- an "expression" with "return type" T. But it's not an expression,
- and has no return type; rather, it's a type synonym for T.
