You are right, I will fix that.

Now the logical place to put this would be <boost/algorithm> wouldn't 
it? I was hoping to simply append this to an existing boost library, but 
it looks like it would require a new one.

Would anyone be against having an algorithm library, especially one that 
had only one algorithm for now? Are there really no other useful 
algorithms that the STL missed?
