Consider the following program:

using namespace std;

template<class T> class Vec : public vector<T>

generally not a good idea. vector is not intended for inheritance.

Tell me this is not another - "need virtual destructor so you can't
inherit" - argument. If it is, you will find it's not a position of
consensus.

It's probably more simply a case of "using a class in ways it
was not designed for doesn't work". A fact of life. (But there
are always amateur hackers who try to ignore it.)

It's probably another attempt to impose a style (coding or design)
ridden with undue limitations. Condescending tone does make one
look/sound important, no doubt.

Search the archives for "standard containers are not intended to be
derived from" and make your own conclusions, that's what I say.
