====================
When including the additional header file :file:`pybind11/stl.h`, conversions
between ``std::vector<>``, ``std::list<>``, ``std::set<>``, and ``std::map<>``
and the Python ``list``, ``set`` and ``dict`` data structures are automatically
enabled. The types ``std::pair<>`` and ``std::tuple<>`` are already supported
out of the box with just the core :file:`pybind11/pybind11.h` header.

The major downside of these implicit conversions is that containers must be
converted (i.e. copied) on every Python->C++ and C++->Python transition, which
