Dear Ben:  It's been a long day, I started at 10:30pm after just  
putting my kids to bed (they were still up :(... ).  It was the same  
last night except I didn't have the energy to start working on the  
proposal... Time is so short...

I just updated it, with the following links:

http://photon.poly.edu/~hbr/boost/combinations.html
http://photon.poly.edu/~hbr/boost/combination.hpp
http://photon.poly.edu/~hbr/boost/combination_ex.cpp
http://photon.poly.edu/~hbr/boost/combination_test.cpp

Most importantly (and there can be typos in other pages, but this one  
I've tried to get as clean as possible):

http://photon.poly.edu/~hbr/boost/combination.pdf

is a draft of a proposal for C++0x (if it's not too late, I'm really  
not sure).  I think all the algorithms are worth standardizing, but  
maybe they'll only consider next/prev_partial_permutation, and next/ 
prev_combination.  That'd be already a good step forward.

Concerning authorship, Ben, I'd like you to be an author as well, can  
you send me (privately) your affiliation and any other coordinates.   
It might even be better if you're the principal (and perhaps even the  
only) author for the proposal.  Cheers,

PS: Howard, as promised, I put you in cc.  Perhaps we should quote  
your web page too (http://home.twcny.rr.com/hinnant/cpp_extensions/ 
combinations.html)?  And I'll put you in the acknowledgments since  
your page suggested to me the for_each... algorithms I use at the  
beginning of our proposal.
