[boost] [Pool] Arbitrary sized elements?

Greetings:

I was wondering if they were any intent to add a derivative of Boost.Pool 
which will handle types of arbitrary sizes.  It won't benefit from speed 
optimization but certainly from its members functions such as is_from(), 
obliteration properties and independent memory area.  This is basically were 
shifted_ptr is heading to because allocated blocks from new_sh() cannot be 
mixed with global allocations.  If there isn't any intent to do so then I'll 
experiment using mmap() functions and Win32 variants.

Thanks,
