I think that your library is very useful.  Your library was my 
motivation to finally start trying to use boost libraries...  I have a 
tendency to do simulation of/retracing communications.  I end up needing 
to match data structures by some key as well as a timestamp (for 
timeouts etc...)

I've mostly just been in the sidelines reading posts...  I'm new to 
boost and tend not to do in depth review of implementations/docs so I 
keep my mouth shut ;)  I do think that I did at least give encouragement 
when you first started talking about your library.

   Well, I went through your docs for the first time the other day.  One 
of the first things I did do was take a look at quick_reference.html and 
found a lot of TO DO's.
   I've had some confusion about iterators...  What I see in the docs 
doesn't seem to use any template parameters for the iterators.  Since 
there can be multiple indicies I suspect that template parameters have 
to work there way into the iterator type, begin, end, etc...
