Subject: [Boost-users] Container features in regards to IPC

Hello,

I was wondering if I could suggest adding the ability to have separate
allocators inside containers so that the structure (such as map) can be
in a different shared memory region, or whatever, than the data. It
would have variety of useful cases such as offline storage swapping out,
inter-process communications, etc.

This can be realized by a bit of a hack with a bunch of boiler-plate
code, but I think that this could be a very useful extension over what
is available in the standard library.
