And experienced users tend to overrate value of their own habits 
;) Your point would have been strong if it was some fundamental 
inconvenience blocking certain power use cases. However in this 
scenario it is just matter of litle extra typing buried deep 
inside generic libraries. I think I can call myself 
metaprogramming power user too but I am eager to to those micro 
extra efforts for the sake of standard library simplicity.

Also while assumption that everyone will eventually become 
experienced user is true, not everyone will eventually be dealing 
with template algorithms - it is mostly business of library 
writers. And this newsgroup can give wrong impression about 
amount of library writers relatively to general user count :)
