You had the same idea as me and Barend, and like you I think it would
be great. Unfortunately we had a private discussion with Kornel about
that, and it seems that the idea of working by extending our library
(or Luke's one or Brandon's one) doesn't really seduce him. It would
have been a pleasure for us to help him in that task. However we
couldn't be the official mentors anyway since we're not the authors of
an already accepted Boost library.
