I realize it may be too late for 1.44 (though I hope not). But I have
a couple of patches that I have had to apply the last few versions. A
few are for bugs, and a few are for features. I added a ticket to
trac but wanted to make sure that I did it right. All of them have
patches that I just built from the trunk.

1) MSVC doesn't work with bounded_vector's of size 0:
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4440
The problem is when you allocate statically allocated vectors of size
0, MSVC throws a fit.

2) SFINAE added for operator * breaks auto-differentiation library:
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4441
When operator * overloading was discussed, some overload resolution
code was added. But the metafunction used is unncessarily strong for
the requirements on the type and breaks an AD library I use.

3) Simple operator * for matrix products.
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4442
This has been discussed many times, but I have attached a very simple
implementation of this that works for non-nested products, and
statically tests if the products are nested to prevent compilation.
It seems that this code is unlikely to cause any regressions, so I
wonder if we should just bite the bullet and get a simple
implementation in there for now.

4) Bounded vector constructor missing explicit and an initialization
version: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4443
There is an ugly bug in the bounded vector constructors and a simple
missing feature to make it consistent with other vector types.

I don't think that any of these (except perhaps the MSVC patch along
with boost::serialization?) are high risk, and if it is possible to
merge in this or the next release that would be awesome. Please tell
me if I have created the patch incorrectly, etc.
