Why don't make 2nd template argument of std::pair default (= the 1st)? I
think this won't issue compatibility problems, but make the use of the
std::pair much easier. If programmer wants a pair of objects of the same
type (especially when the name of this type is hard to type) then it will
make his/her life easier. At least CD2 disallows changing the set of default
template arguments anyway - so this can be achieved only by fixing the
<utility> header.
