Similar comments apply to STL data structure implementations. We can
always do better with application-specific data structures than we can
with one-size-fits-all C++ data structures designed as reasonable
defaults, not optimal implementations. I'd hate for someone to think
that std::unordered_map, say, is somehow better than the data structures
we've used for a long time merely because the standard stipulates that
the runtime must provide it.
