[ random access index used as dynamic index ]

The idea is that a sorted random access index can serve as a manual
replacement for an ordered index, much like sorted std::vectors are
sometimes suggested as an alternative to std::multisets. Random access
allows you to efficiently lookup elements with binary search (once the
index is sorted, of course.) Colum change can be implemented in a
straightforward manner just by appropriately resorting the ra-index.
Alas you lose autoupdate --or more precisely, autosort..

This looks as quite useful case for RA index.

Perhaps the library may provide something as wrapper
around RA index which gets notified when new item is
added/removed/updated, throwing exception then.
