Nope...it's gone quiet.

I'm unsure I want to bring it to a review.  The discussion over the summer was 
very divided.  I feel strongly that it's useful and I think I swayed some 
doubters, but there is a hard-core group that opposes the approach.  So, I 
don't want to waste my time preparing something for review that is doomed.  So 
I might prefer to maintain it as an unofficial 'boost extension'...

It's a subset, and yes they are implemented on top of 1.34 RC.  Note that some 
of the functions use Boost.Regex and Boost.format as well.
