Hi,

I think this would make a nice summer project. There was work done
towards a library of heaps and queues last year. I think that a
soft-heap might make a nice addition.

I would suggest, as part of your proposal that you survey the design
of other soft heap implementations to get ideas for the design. You
will also probably want to look at the previous work on heaps and
queues. I think a proposal of this nature should address how you plan
to integrate with that work.
