Tobias and Ion,

I'm writing a lib for eventual submission to Boost that incidentally uses
Boost.Parameter to achieve a flexible template argument specification like
the one you're discussing. The thing is, you can have  (2) and (3) at a time,
so that both

  container<type,my_settings>

and

  container< type,constant_time_size_operation<false> >

can be served. If you'd like to have a look, please tell me so via private
email and I'll send you the stuff.
