        I'm busy too, on my agenda is a 2-dimensional circular buffer
        concept - which led me to revisit boost, and start lurking
        on gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel.  I think if Jan goes ahead
        with non-autoresizing circular_buffer, I might use that
        as a basis for my 2-dimensional variant.  (A 2d sliding
        window caching kind of problem)  With Jan's permission/blessing
        obviously....  Perhaps better not to infringe on Metrowerks
        unless absolutely no consensus can be formed by patient
        debate... :-)

        The conceptual process here has been a big help for me
        to crystalise some aspects of circular buffers, I genuinely
        think that circular_buffer and circular_deque would both
        be worthy additions to boost, once refined.
