 How does QoI affect whether it's a complete
 implementation or not?

 I got an MSDN "Page cannot be found" page when I tried
 this link :-("

see (if interested) "Funny story" here:

P.S. It seems that someone (perhaps CUJ-folks/Kempf/Becker/Plauger ;-)) 
successfully eliminated my original call-for-comments/feedback-article 
(referenced in that "Boost.Threads/Dinkum.CoreX" thread)

http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=3CB14C2F.349AEF75%40web.de
(That link is BROKEN: "Unable to find thread. Please recheck the URL.")

from google (on "copyright" grounds, I guess; my article included 
BOTH links to boost/CUJ and the entire copy of CUJ article plus all 
examples... to encourage/simplify context related comments)...

Guess what? That original posting can still (but NOT for the long 
time from now, I guess ;-)) be found here:

So, instead of that BROKEN link above, please use:
