- No version. The (draft) standard specifies the STL interface; it's up to your

-
- The HP STL source is not the standard. It's only an implementation, and
- it doesn't include all features specified in the standard since current
- compilers can't use those features. Think of it as a sample implementation.

-
- IBM's compiler does not correspond to the draft standard; neither does
- anyone else's.
