Hmm,   let I  asc next question :

    Is it  possible  use "#pragma interface/implementation"  template
instaniation
mechanism with STL ?

   The answer will be "NO"

  next question:
    It would be  possiple to use this mechanism,  after addind

#ifdef USE_PRAGMA_INTERFACE
"pragma interface"
#endif

    to *all* STL headers ?
