In article <199512140426.NAA01763@k9.k2.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp> you write:
: I wonder we have no method of giving a template a different name. 
: Typedef provides a new concept to a type, for example.
: 	typedef int size_t;
: In the same manner I'd like to give a alias to a template. I know it
: is possible using #define.
: 	#define MyContainer Vector
: We need a method independent of the preprocessor for the purpose.

How about this -

template <class X> class Y : public Vector<X> {};

A template Y<T> is effectively a synonym for a Vector<X>.   A good
compile should have no difficulty with this.
