Subj : STL Containers w/ Virtually Zero-Overhead Lock-Free Reads...

Should it be done? I wonder how popular a read optimized and memory barrier 
free library of STL containers would actually be. Does anybody know if there 
are any plans to incorporate "zero-overhead" lock-free techniques into the 
STL? It seems that something like this is going to be badly needed in the 
near feature... The performance difference between normal lock-free and 
zero-overhead is quite remarkable. Perhaps I should create a demo virtually 
zero-overhead container class...

Would anybody be interested in such a thing?
