Niall,
I would have just loved to do as you say, but I was trapped. I knew that those people who have openly declared war on everything I do would do their absolute best to FUD this review as a way of point scoring and settling grudges. They have been quite literally waiting for this moment with anticipation of "taking me down a peg", and you can see that happening right now.
So I decided that absolute transparency, even if that hurt my chances, was the best policy. I think I have better chances this route than the alternative which would allow the FUD to succeed more easily because it could then be implied that I was hiding something or lying to people.
Clever move! You not only try to push an apparently not-quite-ready library into Boost, but now you're using the criticism voiced against this attempt as an argument in favor of doing it. Please note that I made every effort for my criticism voiced here to be in relation to the code, not the person. I'm not sure why you take all of this as a personal 'vendetta' as you put it. I have no personal matter to resolve with you Niall, I have not even met you personally. All I'm concerned with is the library you're presenting.

Again, instead of jumping to conclusions based on ranting by a person with a well known personal vendetta against me, I'd suggest go read the documentation.
Will do. I was at Table 1.4 which prompted my recent questions about performance.
I couldn't find a Table 1.4.
Did you mean Table 1.5, the one comparing NoSQL databases with the naïve iostreams and AFIO key-value store and where AFIO comes off looking particularly badly?
