Why do you say that the OCL is a "higher-level library" than the STL or the Ada
standard library?  In the STL you say:

  map_t m;
  //...
  m[k] = e;
  m.erase(k);

and in Ada you say:

  M : Map;
begin
  --...
  M.Include (K, E);
  M.Exclude (K);


How much more high-level can a library be?  Considering your description of the
OCL (given in another post), did you really mean that it's more low-level?
