Don't use templates!!! A pretty amazing rule, note that it
implies, don't use the STL. Of course part of this list just
reflects the fact that C++ compilers are WAY behind Ada
compilers in conforming to the standard, standard conformance
just doesn't seem a very high priority in the C++ world.

Still I agree, this is a VERY nice reference (definitely
something to add to adapower :-)
