   6   Here we will make an attempt at describing the non-Standard
   7   extensions to the library.  Some of these are from older versions of
   8   standard library components, namely SGI's STL, and some of these are
   9   GNU's.

  15        The behavior, and the very
  16        existence, of these extensions may change with little or no
  17        warning.  (Ideally, the really good ones will appear in the next
  18        revision of C++.)  Also, other platforms, other compilers, other
  19        versions of g++ or libstdc++ may not recognize these names, or
  20        treat them differently, or...
