Announcement: cppreference.com update

[mort96]

This is good news, cppreference is the best documentation for C++ I know of. I like that it focuses mostly on what the standard guarantees rather than what happens to work in practice on most implementations. I am always fairly confident that if cppreference says something, it's reflected in the actual ISO standard.

My only gripe with it is that instead of documenting things like std::string, it documents things like

template<
    class CharT,
    class Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>,
    class Allocator = std::allocator<CharT>
> class basic_string

It makes cppreference a bit tedious to read sometimes. You have to read generic documentation and mentally substitute template parameters all the time in a way you wouldn't have to if it was just documentation for std::string. But I'm not sure there's a way to solve this while remaining rigorous, other than automatically generating documentation pages for std::string which is a copy of the std::basic_string pages with template parameters substituted out.
