	I thought we were talking about C++.

	Yes, but how much fun was Haskell 10 years ago? You're looking at the 
state of the wrong language at the wrong time. Do you not think it has 
been refined since then?

	And besides, in C you have the STL which makes such operations somewhat 
easier. Not as nice as C++, perhaps, but more manageable.
