Lately I've been collecting some ideas about how to improve the library and keep it interesting/useful both for other Boost libraries and Boost users.
Separating the algorithm from the container, or ability to use the algorithm with a third party container implementation, would be a win. The STL allocator design imposes a lot of unfortunate design choices on container implementation, and removing both constraints frees up potential designs. I wish we had a rope of string (views) in Boost. I know proposed Boost.Text has them, so maybe not so urgent. Still, they enable transformations of strings in a particularly efficient way. Niall
