Sure, but really you should have a reference for such things: either the Standard itself (in *.pdf or book form) or a good book, there are plenty.

Exactly. You have just just install it in your locale. I'm also going to make that particular instantiation faster for you ;) (but only for gcc4.4.0)

Also, note that when I say, browse the code, I also mean, *always* have the full sources available, we deliver lots and lots of user code snippets in the testsuite, which you can certainly find useful...
