Actually, there already is a policy-based map that I have tentatively called boost::map in the sandbox. However, the part about an arbitrary number of keys and values never got implemented. I was hoping other people with lots of free time on their hands would pick it up and play with it. ;) If I had the time, I would create a policy adaptor that would enable this functionality. It would require fundamental changes to the design, but I think the policy-based nature of the existing implementation would ease that somewhat. On an unrelated note, one thing that might be a concern is that I did not write the map from scratch. I used the STLport implementation of std::map, which came from SGI or HP (or both, for all I remember). I wonder if the license is Boost-compatible? Can anyone comment? I suppose I could rewrite the map from scratch, but this is a ton of work that I especially don't have time to do, and it would be a shame if it had to be done because of licensing issues.
