Dear Boost community

I am developing a library which extends the STL generate algorithm.
It's aim is to improve performance for highly optimized (e.g.
vectorized) generation mechanisms while it retains the same interface.

This is especially useful when dealing with random number generation as
there are several libraries (e.g. Intel MKL or AMD ACML) which provide
means to generate a block of random values at once. However, the current
STL generate algorithm is not able to cope with such "range generation".

Is there any interest in a such a library for Boost?

Cheers,
