Strictly speaking, it is not needed, because it says something that a sufficiently bright reader could figure out just from reading the detailed specifications for each of the standard sequences. However, it's useful, because it saves the reader from having to figure that out, and helps the reader place the detailed specifications in context. Also, knowing what the purposes of the different standard sequences were can help implementors figure out how to resolve design choices that are not directly addressed by the details of the specifications themselves. > All the other part of the Standard has not such a kind describing.

I suspect that it is not the only part containing sentences that provide guidelines for the usage of various features of the language and the libraries. --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
