I think you're referring to n2668 from 2008, which concluded with: Recovering the Loss The largest potential loss in performance due to a switch away from copy-on-write implementations is the increased consumption of memory for applications with very large read-mostly strings. However, we believe that for those applications ropes are a better technical solution, and recommend a rope proposal be considered for inclusion in Library TR2. That's not the same as saying that it will be. We don't know yet what will be in TR2 as far as I know. If you go to the working group's page: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/ you see a link to the draft of TR1, but nothing for TR2 yet. Patrick
