STL isn't rapidly changed. I agree that my proposal is not complete with all
forwarding construction parameters. But they are readily added if the
underlying idea is accepted.

People will expect that a monotonic::foo<..> is like a foo<..>, and they
will accept that it requires a storage argument. But they will find it
harder to accept that it requires retooling from a type-argument level of
the allocator.

Christian.
