Hi Alexandru,

My initial impression of the proposal is that it's too big. You won't be
able to finish all of those data structures by the end of the summer, not
with the extra overhead that's required for Boost.

Second -- and this is a problem with a lot of proposals -- you need to show
how your work would improve Boost. It's easy to list a lot of data
structures. How do they fit with existing libraries or data structures?

Best regards,
