I'd like our containers to be good enough for that, to be honest. And avoid 
subtle mistakes if the behaviour differs.

But where it makes sense, sure. Roberto used STL in the his C++ parser. 

Just avoid "template bloat": out-of-line copies of identical code because the 
compiler can't figure out two functions do the same. It's hard to measure.
