I've added some algorithms there. Most of them work on Sequences, which is 
not good since we've not yet agreed how Sequences support will be done, but 
general idea of the algorithm is independent from that.

There also three map algorithms that I'd find quite usefull (especially the 
third), but do they fit in the collection? (I think so). They are:
1. domain : returns the set of map keys
2. range : returns the set of mapped values
3. backward_map : provides mapping is bijection, reverses it.
