Well, I guess it wasnt so tongue-in-cheek. Mostly what I wanted was a
cleaner way to call equal_range (and lower_bound, upper_bound, etc) on
static table with an implied key.

Using array_traits (instead of array) as a model. I am on my way to doing
this.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think it might be a good one.
