Coolness!
Thanks Marshall! Is there some way you can get this into either a git repo or into the sandbox?
It's already in a git repo - on my machine ;-)
Seriously, though - what is the advantage (to you, to me) in having development versions in a public repo? I can understand it if there are multiple contributors- but there are not (at this point).

I too am interested in the git repo. There is a utility function that I am considering contributing, and I think that it would be easier for me to use GitHub's pull request system to send in a patch, or at least to use git's format-patch feature.
Daniel -- That is exactly the direction that I want to take Boost.Algorithm - once it is accepted. Let people propose/contribute new algorithms, have them reviewed (hopefully a much easier task than a full-blown library review), and then add them to the library. However, first the library needs to be accepted into boost - and that won't ever happen as long as it is being added to. So, yes - I welcome your contribution; just not yet. -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software <mailto:mclow.lists@gmail.com> A.D. 1517: Martin Luther nails his 95 Theses to the church door and is promptly moderated down to (-1, Flamebait). -- Yu Suzuki
