OK. And indeed boost _is_ an extension. So I think it makes sense to 
implement all these extensions in boost also (as Herve has done) and provide 
them in the boost namespace.

My only remaining question is : if the STL (used by the developer) already 
provides the algorithm (in the std namespace however), would'nt it be better 
to reuse it. Maybe that algorithm is written in a way to offer the best 
performance with that compiler ?
