Not so long ago, it was suggested[1] that enummapset[2] might be a good candidate for merge into containers. Having found this package to be very useful in the past, I would find this quite nice. Would others find this a reasonable proposal? If so, what needs to be done to make this happen?

We need to discuss the pros and cons of making the API bigger. An alternative would be for us to merge unordered-containers into containers. HashMaps are as fast as IntMaps for any type that can be hashed to an Int, like Enums, but is more widely applicable. However, HashMaps are not ordered. -- Johan
