I don't understand your comment; is a word missing?
Nowadays the old STL has been subsumed with a standard library (for quite a long time) and it has a lot of pretty safe functionality. That functionality tends to be only optimized for the common cases -- say a couple of sigma out -- so you can roll your own alongside it.
And a lot of the pointer manipulation inherited from C is unnecessary given things like range based for.

So what were you referring to?
