Why there is no std::copy_if algorithm?

Question

Is there any specific reason for not having std::copy_if algorithm in C++ ? I know I can use std::remove_copy_if to achieve the required behavior. I think it is coming in C+

Answer 1

Stroustrup says they forgot it. It's in C++11.

However, you can use remove_copy_if (which really should be called copy_if_not) along with not1 instead.
