Indeed. I'm working on a large C++ project now, and this is a big problem for us. We use the STL heavily, especially the container classes.

Incidentally, if anyone here knows some good workarounds, they would be much appreciated! I know about the void pointer trick, but unfortunately most of our containers don't contain pointers; they contain class types.
