OK, the only point I would bring up is that people who read
the SGI STL documentation: http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Rope.html
will not see any mention of including <ext/rope>.  The SGI
STL documentation is quite good, so this could lead to confusion
(as it confused me).

However, as you mention, these features are extensions, so it may
not be unreasonable to expect the user to specify an include directory
that is not the same as for the rest of the STL.
