No, actual my (initial) rebase patch does not use templates at all.

BTW, while I was flying to CA on a business trip a few weeks ago, I
started to refactor my free_list and used_list classes to use a (STL-like)
set template class.  I was doing pretty good until I got to iterators...

Nevertheless, every minute that I spent on reimplementing STL
functionality just felt plain wrong.  There is no way that I could
(re)implement anything close to the quality of an STL container class.
