I was wondering if the following SGI algorithms should't be included in the library.

Many of these are deliberately missing, although I am inviting comments about this design decision. The rationale for ot including the _n and _if versions is covered under the adaptor documentation. It is probably necessary to add an obvious link in the algorithm section. The algorithm section is where people are going to go to find out about the algorithms I suppose! Ooops!
If I were you, I'd take a careful look at what's in the Adobe Source Library. Alex Stepanov &co. spent years researching the essential elements of this domain, and his idea of what's important may have evolved quite a bit since he was at SGI. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
