Re: Proposal: priority queues in containers

personally I am against splitting containers. It is a collection of several basic data structures with similar design decisions (reasonably efficient, can be used persistently, decent API). I think these structures should stay together, to have a library of data structures for common usage.

But when turning containers into a meta-package these structures will stay together while at the same time allowing people to use and upgrade them separately.

If the metapackage stays, then there is probably little difference. I was under impression you wanted to remove the metapackage and leave the individual structures as packages (that was my understanding of your mail). I would like to have basic data structures connected together. I do not really mind if the modules are in one library or in several, as long as I could say "I want 'containers'." But independently on the form of the containers package, I would like it to contain a priority queue. Including it to the containers package seems as a good first step. Cheers, Milan
