But that's the same as saying you can not use anything in the
predefined library. If so then the container library is the least of
your problems!

Write your own container. Parallel systems require delicate handmade work.

(noting a breakdown in logic in this argument...
Dmitry said handmade work is required. This does not mean that
*only* handmade work is allowed, as Matthew seems to infer.)

Actually, I think Dmitry's view is largely valid in practice, if
somewhat extreme.
