Will try to be more specific what we're using boost to accomplish.

I expect I will have a tuple of different values, RGB color fields and
perhaps one or two other fields of interest. There will be a sequence of
these tuple sequences more than likely. But I haven't completely figure
that part out yet. So each item (sequence) in the main sequence could be
spiked. Sorry if that wasn't clearer.

No nothing like BCD. I don't know if packed is quite the right term. Each
item in the spiked sequence will be a base RGB.

Yes, I expect there will be different sets of equations, questions we'll
want to be asking the tuples, depending on the circumstances. This could be
something that is specified by a parser grammar acting on the different
tuple elements themselves, over the sequence perhaps, and so on.

Again, hasn't been fully thought through.
