When we use the term "concept", we're referring to a specific convention for abstraction in the generic programming paradigm. See the introduction to the original STL. http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/stl_introduction.html
Daniel, I wondered if someone may step up and try and correct my usage of the word "concept". While writing the post, I even though about using a different expression but I just assumed the meaning was going to be clear from the context. I would have used a capitalised "Concept" to refer to what you describe. However, I take your point and I'll try to be more careful with my communication. Perhaps you can forgive a small slip-up by this non-native speaker. Regards, Tom
