OFFTOPIC: How to use strings with libstdc++?

[Wojciech Zabolotny]

Hi All

I've stated that there is no old good String class in libstdc++.
Instead I've found the "string" header which defines the "string" class.
Is it OK to use it in new C++ programs, or it is added only for
compatibility? Why has it such nonstandard name (without ".h" suffix).

                        TIA
