The "generic interface" would be a good tool, but I think that a generic 
interface would not reach the optimization level that a member function 
that specifically targets the details of the data structure can achieve. 
Benchmarks will tell...

I, for instance, could not beat the performance of the current member 
functions, using the Austerns "segmented iterator" generic interface. In 
some algorithms, it was even slower than the non-segmented, classic STL 
algorithm.

Best,

Ion
