Are you aware that a hash_map proposal from Matt Austern is almost sure to be included in the upcoming C++ Standard Library Technical Report?

See http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2002/n1399.html

The only reason that proposal wasn't accepted in Santa Cruz was a naming controversy and some minor technical quibbles about tuning types being specified with more precision than can be delivered.
