I don't recall that any of the articles mentioned if the container libraries of interest provided for persistence (some ability to write & read the containers to/from a file or stream). I consider that a pretty critical feature, so you might want to consider that in selecting one for your future projects. Even a library that is a little weaker in some other regard would score big points with me so long as I don't have to figure out how to load and store the data between program runs. Especially if I can make containers of containers of containers and get the whole ball of wax stored in a file. (See the 'Read and 'Write and related attributes of streams - its really pretty cool.)
