[Brian Braatz Writes:] 
If you are interested in collaborating, I have wanted to (for some time
now) build the table<> aspect of what you are working on.

My goals:
1- functional drop in replacement for ADO recordset
2- Dynamic and static "views" and indexes
3- binding model that does NOT force you to use the bindings supplied
with the library 
        this is something ADO lacks, and something I have had to work
around to great frustration
4- the ability to COPY from one table<> to another table<>
        * ADO does NOT ALLOW you to copy recordsets. (brilliant no?)

Additionally - 

I am not sure if he is still interested, but Joaquin Munez and I
exchanged emails awhile back about collaborating on such a beast.

The general idea was to take the functionality in multi-index container
and make it work dynamically.

(and there is more)

I am working on something unrelated to this discussion that could form a
good foundation for table<>. I should have something to share middle of
next week.

Just let me know if you are interested in putting our heads together.
