That would be my guess too.  So we should say so.

But there's more to containers than what "generics/templates" would

As Tom pointed out, containers needs iterators.  It is unhelpful to
abstraction if the client of a container is required to understand and
have access to the implementation and representation of the container in
order to enumerate its contents.
