As part of my plans with the boost::heaps library, I'll have to take a
close look at the fibonacci_heap, and in particular compare with
Dietmar's implementation. At least I'm thinking I should see what Knuth
has to say!

Also I'll take a look at mutable_heap and mutable_queue. I think the
challenge is to keep the mushrooming of the code by independent parties
while still providing stuff that works for everyone. Otherwise, boost
will end up with three(!) fibonacci heaps, and what else.

PS: my plans for boost::heaps is to clear it up and sponsor the review,
but it's not high in my priority list, maybe will have to wait for the
summer. See the previous thread about a month ago on this mailing list.
