We'll consider adding this sort of modification, as long as it doesn't
make things significantly more complex, or add too much to the runtime
size. These sorts of things are likely to break binary compatibility,
so don't expect them any time soon.

Unfortunately, we can't use STL in omniORB, since it isn't
sufficiently supported on all of the compilers we target.

Cheers,
