Looks nice to me -- seems like it would be useful.
Great :)
How about
C) add anything?
1) Should there be specializations of standard algorithms that use the internal functions?
Here comes the iterators tag issue: I have to take a look to some implementations for list and vector. Depending on their implementation we should: a) stick to the implementations for list b) implement specializations for rank_list (this might require a new iterators tag, I guess) c) tag iterators as random access and use the algorithms of vector (bad idea, see rationale)
2) Docs really need a tutorial section that shows how to use the container. I realize it's pretty much like using a vector, but still it's much easier to see that in a 10 line code snippet than reading thru long and boring docs.
That's a great idea. I knew I had to write more examples, but I think that they will be much more useful if I explain them in the docs in tutorial form. Thanks a lot. Regards, Martin
