The existence of the STL shows a counterpoint to the complexity.
There are rewards for the complexity, in other words. Some of the
recipes in Meyers' books are amazing: The combination of class
templates, the envelope pattern, and template specialization, for
example; you get a generic interface with a decoupled
implementation which can be optimized for specific types at need.
