Ah, yes, I mis-quoted. It just so happened that the discussion was
happening in the clang-dev list. :)

That I agree with. Noting that Boost already has an implementation of
the threading library as well as the futures library that may be part
of the C++0x standard, it would not be absurd if we were able to push
something like multi-index containers into the standard library.

Also, just mentioning the algorithms library again, it would be good
if we were able to push the string algorithms into the next version of
the standard.
