Charles is meant to be an Ada library, optimized for flexibility and
efficiency. The C++ STL is interesting to me only to the extent that
it contributes towards that goal.
Yes, in the STL, find_if is a generic algorithm, not a vector member
function. However, searching for items in a container is
"sufficiently primitive" such that it deserved to be an operation for
all containers (not just sorted associative containers, as in the
STL).
Also, the vector container doesn't have an iterator, for reasons
explicated in another email message.
