And that's precisely the problem.  Containers are simple when they're
specifically tailored for your specific use case.  Containers in a
standard library, though, need to be relevant to the general userbase;
and as we know, every one has their own exceptional corner case that
they expect should be supported. So standard library containers tend to
grow hairs over time and become anything but simple.
