I looked at boost::compressed_pair, which is yet another
impressive piece of work.  However, I'm afraid that I won't be
able to use it out-of-the-box, since it inherits privately.  Private
inheritance makes sense when compressed_pair is viewed
as a data-optimizing mechanism, but throws a monkey wrench
in the works for using it with policies.  It looks like it would be
perfect if it only had public inheritance.  Steve, Beman, Howard,
or John?  Any suggestions?
