I guess I'm ignorant here; what the heck is a "Stepanov/Lee
specification, and what is its relevance to Stnadard C++?

While I certainly use a LOT of templates in my work (heck, I've
written four books full of template examples), I DON'T see any
obligation to use them for all code. I've always been a believer in
using the right tool for the right job; my whole reason for using C++
is that it offers considerable flexibility. In many cases, template
are over-used; and I find that templates lead to lazy programming,
where a "generic" tool is used in place of a tuned,
application-focused piece of code.
