1 ASTL (Android STL) is a slimmed-down version of the regular C++ STL.
2
3 Its sole purpose for existence is to be able to compile some third party
4 packages. As a result only a subset of the regular STL is provided. We only add
5 feature to it as we need them.
6
7 Size of the library is a concern. For that reason, template usage has been
8 reduced to a bare minimum, there is little parametrization in classes.

10 To keep things simple, some inheritance hierarchies are just not there (e.g
11 string is not a template specialization of basic_string - there is no
12 basic_string class template.)
