Boost provides not just data structures but seems to be a grab bag of
=E2=80=9Cgenerally useful=E2=80=9D libraries.  I=E2=80=99d rather leave i=
t alone and create a
new, independent =E2=80=9Cdatastructures=E2=80=9D module with =E2=80=9Csp=
arsehash=E2=80=9D as the first
occupant.

Would that be acceptable?
