I'm not too familiar with the upcoming standard proposals.  After this 
talk I feel I could go and reimplement most of my template libraries 
with concepts fairly easily.  So kudos to you.

One thing that is central to the STL that I might have missed from this 
talk is complexity guarantees.  Is there a way to promise STL's big O 
complexity guarantees with concepts?

Thanks,
