Re: [boost] RFC: Example file for using Pascal-Like Set Class

Its in the files section of the Boost Users' Group on Yahoo.

Supplying just the type does not provide the class enough information.
Types in C++ do not carry ranging information.  Unless classes (maybe with
traits) were used, there would be no why to tell the template that the set
had, for example, 10 members.
