Q: Are STL containers guaranteed to be thread safe? I.e. will two
   threads iterating through a list and possibly adding or removing
   list items interfere with one another or does list and its
   friends enforce any necessary mutual exclusion?
   Is thread-safety dependent on having a specific threading
   library in the system?
