Just one. In the case, that the string_algo will actualy be accepted to boost,
I will not have enough time to address all the issues from the review.

Would it be possible to postpone the relase for a week of two, so I can fix most
important deficienties?

This is important only in case, that there will be enough interest from boosters,
to include this library in this release and of cause, if the library gets accepted.
