Yes, but for an efficient implementation of libstdc++ don't you think 
it's important to understand the costs of things like inheritance?

I for one love the Standard C++ Library because it's full of great 
things and I'm bored of re-inventing the wheel.  However,  the 
implementation performance/code size/reliability etc. are important 
points otherwise people __will__ re-invent the wheel!
