I'm in the midst of cleaning up stl_deque.h, and just noticed deque::at()
was (wrongly) coded to throw std::range_error instead of std::out_of_range.
No idea how long it's been like that. It's an understandable mistake.
I would never have noticed if I didn't have stl_vector.h also open in an
adjacent window as a reminder.
Which LWG members decided to have two unrelated exception classes with
such similar confusing names? Those people should be ashamed...

P.S.- SGI consistently throws range_error everywhere. Oops.
