Pavel,

do you really think your comment is useful for a student inquiring about the "Sweepline Algorithm" project idea from <https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2010>? You could have discussed your objections with Lucanus Simonson when he proposed the idea: <http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2010/03/162870.php>.
