[boost] [circular_buffer] encapsulation problems

Hi Jan,

Have you ever seen

   http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2007/n2212.html

?

I'm implementing some simple map data-struture as a wrapper around 
boost::circular_buffer<boost::optional<Pod>>. In my copy-constructor I 
want to memcpy into a newly created circular_buffer of the correct size, 
but that is not really possible. In n2212 I outline a solution to this 
problem. Would you consider to implement them?

I think the functions will also make circular_buffer more efficient for 
use in MPI and Asio.
