Heaney is the undisputed creator of Ada.Containers (someone else had to "go through the bloody process of getting the ARG" and Heaney to include indefinite elements though).

Randy, we all co-invented the thing in 2004 (for Ada 2005).

I guess it just was not "organic" enough to get standardized back then.
