C++ STL: Output Container to Stream

We can output the elements of any container to any ostream using std::copy like this. But, it would be really nice if we could output any vector like this:

std::vector<MyClass> myVec;
std::cout << myVec;

To achieve that, we just need one more wrapper around std::copy, a function template that accepts vectors of any type:

template <typename T>
std::ostream& operator << (std::ostream& os, const std::vector<T>& vec)
{
    std::copy( vec.begin(), vec.end(), std::ostream_iterator<T>( os ) );
    return os;
}

Similar functions can be written for other STL containers.
