Sounds like Yoda. Weird these speech constructs are.
Please note that the original was "Some examples are...." That isn't weird to me. I've heard and read that phrasing in many contexts. If you omit "some" it does have a slightly unusual character, but it still isn't "Examples the STL, Boost.Lambda, Boost.Function, and Boost.Python are."
Some trees are Elm, Oak, and Maple. Weird they still are. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
