I'm sure many people on this list have a lot on their plate.  I'm working 14 
hour days for the past several weeks trying to push towards a milestone.  In 
my spare time I like to get some r&r and I keep an eye on several 
interesting projects one of which is Boost.  I saw your posts and followed 
the discussion but I haven't had time to evalute the work thoroughly enough 
to do it justice.  And this is something that could potentially give us a 
noticeable speed improvement in the application I'm currently working on.

At present I have some fixed-point code, proto, fusion, futures, join, and 
several other interesting things on my list of stuff to look at in addition 
to your contribution (and that's just in the scope of Boost).

There are only so many hours in a day.

Thanks,
