I was writing sme code with the standard library and I was looking up
copy_if() in CD-2. When I couldn't find it, I looked in Stroustrup III
and he says "Unfortunately, copy_if() was somehow dropped from the set
of algorithms provided by the standard library (mea culpa).". My work
around was to use remove_copy_if() and negate the predicate with not1().
I'm curious, however, how copy_if() ended up getting dropped from the
standard library and why that was Bjarn's fault.
