It does not look bad, actually. But I'm really trying
to narrow the target down now. Do you have strong
objections to index_list? Nobody else complained.

Well, just for the record, what's your "vote" about
pushing/not pushing into boost:container? It is not

noone has expressed any strong opinion on either option.
