In those sentences Mr Kuyper says two falsehoods:
1) The containers library would be specific to my compiler. Even if he
knows perfectly well from the discussion of this last years he will
start repeating that again and again.
2) "No other vendor" implies that I am a shrewd businessman trying to
sell something here even if he knows perfectly well that I am
distributing the whole code base for free without any strings
attached. I have repeated this again and again for years, but Mr
Kuyper insists in disseminating falsehoods again and again.

When I speak about a project to add a containers library to the C
language I am a spammer because in this group the only allowed
compiler is gcc, maybe Microsoft but then people are redirected
immediately to some long dead windows group.
