    Yes that would make a lot of sense (look at the TODO file ;-) ).

    The current Orthodox test is not very usable because you need to look up
the code to know which assertion failed. It would be better if we had more
fine grained test which name would make sense. We could then compose those
test for common "concept".

    Is there a place where those STL concepts can be look up (my knowledge
is empirical)?

    Baptiste.
