That is an interesting idea. However, I see the method (or at least some implementations of it) are covered by a patent.

I don't look at patents. Everything I've described is either my own (re-)invention or taken from the 1981 paper "Multidimensional Range Search in Dynamically Balanced Trees" by Tropf and Herzog that is linked from the Z-curve Wikipedia page.

Presumably that could affect its adoption into boost?

I doubt it. Regards, Phil.
