It is reversed indeed, Luke wants to integrate our FP overlay algorithm 
in his library, so he can specialize on numeric type, for integers his 
algorithm, for floats ours. We're happy to extend our Polygon Concept 
for this feature, if the std:: container is not sufficient. But I don't 
know if you can ask that it should be there before acceptance, because 
the BP was accepted after the announcement of GGL review...
