It's a very terse way of suggesting to replace 'stl' with 'Standard
Template Library (@dfn{STL})'.

This syntax is old Unix for "search and replace". You may be familiar
with this style:

s/old/new/

The first letter, s, is a command that means "search and replace". The
separator characters, like / or |, can be anything, and are chosen by
the first use.

This syntax is commonly used in the `sed` and `vi` programs.
