Hi BenBear.

Since you haven't mentioned it anywhere, I'm assuming this combination
implementation is not yet part of any standard or standard proposal.

libstdc++ is primarily aimed at implementing the C++ standard and
related standards-track extensions.  Generally speaking, the maintainers
will want the proposed addition to have already been fully discussed and
reviewed by a wide audience of peers, as well as documented in a
standards-esque form.  They will probably also want the addition to be
proven in actual use.  As such, it is very difficult for completely new
proposals to be accepted into libstdc++.

I would suggest you instead submit this for inclusion into Boost
<www.boost.org>.  Read some of the material on the Boost website to get
a feel for how it works, and take a look at the mailing list archives,
then post your implementation to the main Boost developers list.

Hope this helps,
