// STLDeleteContainerPointers()
// For a range within a container of pointers, calls delete
// (non-array version) on these pointers.
// NOTE: for these three functions, we could just implement a DeleteObject
// functor and then call for_each() on the range and functor, but this
// requires us to pull in all of algorithm.h, which seems expensive.
// For hash_[multi]set, it is important that this deletes behind the iterator
// because the hash_set may call the hash function on the iterator when it is
// advanced, which could result in the hash function trying to deference a
// stale pointer.

// we reach into the string's private implementation and resize it without
// initializing the new bytes. In some cases doing this can significantly
// improve performance. However, since it's totally non-portable it has no
// place in open source code. Feel free to fill this function in with your
// own disgusting hack if you want the perf boost.

// next call to a string method that invalidates iterators.

// As of 2006-04, there is no standard-blessed way of getting a
// mutable reference to a string's internal buffer. However, issue 530
// (http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/lwg-active.html#530)
// proposes this as the method. According to Matt Austern, this should
// already work on all current implementations.

// If container is NULL, this function is a no-op.

// As an alternative to calling STLDeleteElements() directly, consider
// ElementDeleter (defined below), which ensures that your container's elements
