I read somewhere, I forget where, that the next version of vs.net "Whibley"
will contain something called stl.net. Is this true? If so, what the heck
is it?!

It's a version of the STL that allows you to work with managed objects from
the .net framework.

Yes. This was mentioned at the beginning of Eric Rudder's keynote at PDC.
STL.NET probably won't be the final name (it may be too). It will be
included in Whidbey and will demonstrate some very cool ways of using C++ on
the CLR. This library was designed to keep the STL style of programming
(separating containers from algorithms) and be verifiable. STL.NET also
demonstrates some interesting ways to combine templates and generics so that
C++ code can make the most out of these containers while still letting other
CLS languages consume these containers.

STL.NET is planned to appear in one of the betas for Whidbey. It will
probably not be available as of the first beta though.

Cheerio!
