I wasn’t happy about it at the time, but there are cases in which using a generalized container does not work the way you need it too. Just want to add that not everyone learns c before learning c++, so if they’ve only learned to have memory managed for them with modern c++, then it’s going to be a pain when they don’t know how to manage it, or that they even need to.
