The STLPort that Sun delivers has a lot of bugs, some of
them (in locale) very serious. On the whole, it's worse
than the Rogue Wave version. But it does implement the
interfaces which use member templates or depend on explicit
function template arguments.

Neither are anywhere near the quality of the g++ or
Dinkumware libraries; neither ofter debugging checking, and
both use typedef's to pointers for the iterators in string
and vector.

What is wrong with using pointers as iterators (apart from the
fact that argument dependent name lookup for built-in types
does not consider ::std namespace)?

No validity checking. And problems when you try to overload a
function to work with either std::vector<>::iterator or T*.
