Separating the algorithm from the container, or ability to use the
algorithm with a third party container implementation, would be a win.
The STL allocator design imposes a lot of unfortunate design choices on
container implementation, and removing both constraints frees up
potential designs.
I wish we had a rope of string (views) in Boost. I know proposed
Boost.Text has them, so maybe not so urgent. Still, they enable
transformations of strings in a particularly efficient way.
