Dinkumware is proposing part of their library for standardization. See 
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2004/n1683.html

Should Boost be looking at that proposal? Seems to me we should.

If we like it, we can support their proposal and perhaps do an independent 
implementation for Boost. If we think it needs changes, the sooner those 
get communicated to Dinkumware and/or the LWG, the better.
