* Boost.DoubleEnded, mentored by Thorsten Ottosen

Student: Benedek Thaler
Status: Introduced to the community [0], with positive reception.

I'm currently blocked on other duties, however, I'd like to continue
working on DoubleEnded in the coming months. Todo list includes: fix
benchmark [1], improve documentation (autoindex), 32 build in CI, and
foremost: go through the Boost review process.
