That was when?  Long before I decided to create libfaeutil.  I thought 
we were sleeping for enough time already.

Who cares?  Stack isn't what you want to use in other languages.  Other 
languages are typically interpreted and don't achieve speeds at which 
you benefit from the low-level-optimized code.

It should function as close to the real stack, yes.  So does list<>.

Is this a false positive on my sarcasm detector?..  Garbage collectors 
have nothing to do with the concept of allocators in STL whatsoever.

How interesting!  I must find a copy of the standards.  Got some?

Have fun!  Must be an interesting read.
