It appears that, depending on whom you know, it might be easier to get a
library in the C++ standard compared to getting it into Boost. This speaks
volumes, if not about the quality of the libraries being standardized, at
least about the different mindset of the people involved.

It appears that he has learned his lesson and won't repeat that mistake. :)
