I'm very interested in this library and really appreciate how far you've 
taken it.

A couple of questions

1) Do you think the library is ready for review for incorporation in boost 
yet (solid interfaces, reasonable implementation across several key 
platforms), or are you simply requesting many more people try it and support 
development more actively?

2) In your conversations and literature studies have you found any 
intellectual property claims that might limit access to 'join' methodology 
(Microsoft patents ?).
