While your library is sound, to justify your same level of abstraction 
as C++ claim, you would have to show how easy it is to repeat the 
process with something other than strings.  Start with something simple 
like a file of Foo records, where Foo is:

struct Foo
{
   int a;
   int b;
   int c;
};

Being able to work with generic types is where the flexibility of the 
C++ containers lies.
