I suggest we go with public inheritance now, and figure out what it takes to
make it private once we get the port going. By the way, how do you test the
implementation?

I don't know. Again, I think it's best to get things rolling first. So you
may want to hack compressed_pair into optionally_inherits. If a concept
comes out of it, cool. If not, the hack will be eternalized :o).
