I just posted it. You should see it by now. If not:

Here's what I am planning:

1) I intend to refactor fusion to allow different forms of
    containers with varying characteristics. I plan to have:
    a) vector
    b) list
    c) set
    d) map
2) The unifying force is the (as usual): iterator
3) There will be intrinsic functions that work on specific
    containers (e.g. cons for lists; thus having full backward
    compatibility with old tuples).
4) As I intend to follow the MPL mold, I will follow MPL
    naming convention (e.g. "at" instead of "get", vector
    instead of tuple).
5) Provide a tuple TR1 interface on top of fusion.
6) Provide a backward compatible interface (for old tuples) on
    top of fusion.

I'd like to hear your thoughts.
Cheers,
