Side question: is streamablity going to be in your proposal? It is not currently. The reason for that is that there is no clear way how it should be implemented (a similar issue applies to pairs, tuples, variant, any, etc...) See http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2005/03/81619.php for discussion. I believe that the problem is with the streaming itself. For instance, should streaming out and then streaming the result back in produce the same value? Some people expect that, but even std::string could not provide this behavior.
