What are the long term goals of the project? To merge key data structures into the containers library?

They are a more like a replacement, with (almost) the same api, and better performance (last time we checked).

Besides, I maintain a common class framework API to use (and test, etc.) all those beasts uniformly.

Can you give an overview of which data structures we now have better replacements for, and what is preventing them being replaced? Perhaps a good next step would be to break containers up into smaller pieces, so that individual parts of the containers library can be selectively replaced? Once we have experience with what breaks, and what is faster, then we can proceed to replace components? -- Don
