When I turn on the warning for shadow variables, I get warnings out
of the STL deque header file about a shadow variable named 'index'.

I don't expect that there are flagrant bugs in STL at present, but this
is sometimes a hard one to catch, e.g. -Wall doesn't flag it.  Does
anyone know for sure that this is not an error?  Isn't it a poor 
practice?

TIA for any info.
