That sounds a little too buzzwordy to my ear.

What does 'STL compliant' actually mean ?
Also, I don't think boost libraries are generally thread-safe, at least not
in a general sense. I believe it would be best not to mention thread-safety
in a short abstract, or else you'd have to detail the statement quite a bit
to make it true.
