Part I: General Libraries

It is not obvious what a suitable name for this part of the book should be. With a structure of the book that encompasses distinct domains (such as containers and higher-order programming), names are often palpable; except for what's covered in this partthose little things that we use all of the time: smart pointers, conversion utilities, and so on.

You can't really begin with a division called Miscellaneous, or Ubiquitous, or Frequently Used Libraries. It's truethey are all of these things, but it just doesn't convey their importance properly. Ergo, General Libraries, which I'm also hoping will focus on their omnipresence.
