Re: [boost] Stack-based vector container

Yeah, an allocator with some internal storage that falls back to the heap when it's exausted would allow std::vector's to essentially use the "small string optimization."

It would have to rely on c++0x or implementation-defined behaviour though, as c++03 containers are explicitly not required to support stateful allocators.
