## Acknowledgments

Written by Ami Tavory and Vladimir Dreizin (IBM Haifa Research Laboratories), and Benjamin Kosnik (Red Hat).

This library was partially written at IBM's Haifa Research Labs. It is based heavily on policy-based design and uses many useful techniques from Modern C++ Design: Generic Programming and Design Patterns Applied by Andrei Alexandrescu.

Two ideas are borrowed from the SGI-STL implementation:

1. The prime-based resize policies use a list of primes taken from the SGI-STL implementation.

2. The red-black trees contain both a root node and a header node (containing metadata), connected in a way that forward and reverse iteration can be performed efficiently.

Some test utilities borrow ideas from boost::timer.

We would like to thank Scott Meyers for useful comments (without attributing to him any flaws in the design or implementation of the library).

We would like to thank Matt Austern for the suggestion to include tries.
