I keep wondering why they called it concepts instead of interfaces?

It's a term from the STL, which predates Java, where it's not an interface
so much as a set of behavioral guarantees: I'm fairly sure that a Java
interface couldn't express what an STL concept can. (Now I will shut up
and let ncm, an actual C++ expert rather than a poseur like me, tell me
I'm full of crap. I expect I am.)
