I know what do you mean, I'm working on string_algo library for boost, and (un)fortunately, I'm getting the to stage where I have to write documentation :( For me it is the hardest part of work ... > > Pavol, > > I just realized the above might sound discouraging...

Well, I might try if I find a time for doing it:) Anyway, what I would like to suggest in the mean time, is to at least make a summary of these utilities, so that boost developers have a place where they can check, if something they need, does not already exists. I don't know the place and the form, I think it would be useful.
