Hi Ion,

I read over the documentation for Container.  Looks like a neat library.  I like the idea of a next gen STL in Boost.

In the documentation, I think the recursive containers section could spell out what's going on here - I didn't catch it at first.  It could just say "Recursive data structures contain elements of their own type."  Perhaps with a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursive_data_type.  Pretty cool.  

Didn't this grow out of Interprocess?  I'm wondering if it has somehow an improved contract with the allocator to support shared memory - or is that worth talking about?

Cheers,
Gordon
