+The Standard Template Library, or STL, is a C++ library of container
+classes, algorithms, and iterators; it provides many of the basic
+algorithms and data structures of computer science. The STL is a
+generic library, meaning that its components are heavily
+parameterized: almost every component in the STL is a template. You
+should make sure that you understand how templates work in C++ before
+you use the STL.
