Thanks, I am glad you like it!

Not yet, but I agree they are needed.

I've managed to sneak std::deque in for the upcoming release.

Yes, that's supported. See the Boost profile (Chapter 23 in the
manual).

I've found the trickiest part with implementing the Boost date-time
support is figuring out which database types to map to and how to
convert to/from the corresponding image types. So, hopefully, we
will be able to use the code from the Boost (and Qt) profiles as
a guide/reference to implement std::chrono.

It was 3am "my time" and I was quite jetlagged... Still afraid to
go watch that video... ;-)
