I don't think so because the containers have been historically incapable
of doing that well. I'd much rather have code we know works than depend on
containers.

It would be very dismaying if Spring can't do what I managed to do in one
C++ base class.

We didn't recommend it because it was broken for a long time. I don't
think we have any strong feelings now about it.
