I want to see scaling benchmarks comparing this implementation with 
the traditional STL containers for 0 to 10,000 items, for both single 
threaded and concurrent usage (even if that is simply a spinlock 
around the library).

If these scaling benchmarks are not provided, I automatically vote 
no.
