The library has been reviewed by a number of boost contributors, including Paul Bristow, Ilya Buchkin, Fernando Cacciola, Daryle Walker and others. Thanks for your effort! Taking the review comments into considerations, the library will not be accepted into boost at its present state. Here's a

Dear Boost members, This post is to ask for potential interest for a new library. We (G. Marpons and me) have developed a prototype library called SMTL (Spatial and Metric Template Library) whose basic functionality is to provide STL-like containers and iterators for spatial and metric data. If t
