I find some of the requirements tables in the STL part of the April 95
draft standard to be misleading.  Consider table 2 in section
23 (Containers).  The first entry, X::value_type, is listed as
an "expression" with "return type" T.  But it's not an expression,
and has no return type; rather, it's a type synonym for T.
