No. The containers library is not an application; A container is used
in most applications though, and that is the difference.

Most serious programs use lists, need flexible arrays, hash tables, etc.
The "solution" now is that each program redevelops a linked list
package, a hash table package, etc from scratch at each project.

Since there isn't a common interface all this programs are incompatible 
and need to be adapted when used together.

If I use package "A" with its list module and package "B" with another
incompatible lost module, I have to write adapter code to pass lists
written in package "A" to lists in package "B".

And you know very well what I am talking about. Never done
a list package? You never used a list in your programs?

Many of those functions are provided by my compiler system
lcc-win but I am not proposing to generalize them. What I am
proposing is standardizing the principal containers.
