[boost] [indirect container] RFC on naming of library and classes

Dear all,

I will soon start to write some more documentation for the
indirect container library (formerly called the smart container library).
Before I start on that I would like to get a vote on the preferred naming
of

1. the library itself
2. library classes

Ad 1: library name:
--------------------

Boost.Indirect Cotainer was suggested by Joaquin. It sounds reasonable to me.
I don't have any alternatives, but suggestions are welcome.

Ad 2: library classes:
---------------------

The library currently consists of the following major classes in namespace 
boost:

ptr_array
ptr_vector
ptr_list
ptr_deque
ptr_set
ptr_multiset
ptr_map
ptr_multimap
ptr_sequence_adapter
ptr_set_adapter
ptr_multiset_adapter
ptr_map_adapter
ptr_multimap_adapter

Should these names persist? Or should we go for something like
indirect_array, indirect_vector etc?
