Some performance tests might be nice here too (and the code for
generating them should be incorporated in the distribution), comparing
to std:: libraries shipped with the popular compilers. It'll help sell
your library and it'll serve as a nice benchmark later as vendors
update their standard library implementations. At least, I'd be
interested in such information and if test code is avaiable, I could
easily run the testcases myself.

Best,
