"textContent": "That is just an argument for bad API design of the STL. It is not an argument against this feature, unless you argue that it's not possible to create a good API with overloads.\n\nFurthermore, even if this is what you argue, in large existing C++ projects that had a large API surface area overloads are just a fact, and coming with new names for every overloaded method is a huge burden. Then you also have to maintain those names when the API changes.",
