Also, is there some standard Boost way of making this sort of code generally available? It probably isn't at a level where it could be included in the library, but it seems like a shame to just let it languish in the bowels of the mailing list archive. The usual method is to put it in the Boost Vault :
My impression was that the Boost Vault is intended for libraries on the Boost candidate track, that is they're put there with an eye to eventually submitting them for inclusion the the Boost libraries. If that's true, it's not really appropriate for this stuff.
I'll also point out that there have been Wiki pages devoted to this sort of contribution for quite some time. These have the advantage that they make their way into Google. See

Although if this is limited to multi-array it might be a bit more specialized. I look at these Wiki contributions more like ideas than finished products, certainly not up to the usual Boost standards, but useful non-the-less.
That sounds just right for these functions. They are specific to multi-arrays so they don't belong on the AlgorithmExtensions page, but I'd like to create a Boost.MultiArray/Algorithms page which could be added to as people adapt more algorithms for use with multi_arrays. Do I need to get somebody's ok for this, or can I just dive right in? (While we're at it, a "jeff's cool date time extensions" Wiki page might be nice too. ;-)) Regards, Beth
