From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C++_standard_library :
The Standard Template Library is a subset of the C++ standard library,
and contains the containers, algorithms, iterators, function objects,
etc.; although some people use the term STL interchangeably with the
C++ standard library.
Hope that clarifies.
