George, earlier this year, there was yet another person who had
a proposed solution:

   http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/171761

The OP in that thread benchmarked the solution:

   http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/171761/focus=172030

I'd guess that before anything is adopted when there are several
alternatives, the pros/cons and a benchmark comparing the alternatives
would be desirable.
