[boost] singleton and active objects

It occurred to me recently that having the option to make a singleton an 
active object may be vital in order to make an efficient multi-threaded 
singleton viable.  By having function calls on the singleton enqueue 
requests and return future variables, threads should be able to access 
the singleton reasonably often without creating a bottleneck.

The question is, should I try to develop and submit an active object 
library before trying to get singleton accepted?  I suspect that having 
an efficient multi-threaded solution available would help the next 
singleton review substantially.
