Highlights include: Reference Wrappers, - Smart Pointers, result_of, Function Object Binders, - Polymorphic function wrappers, Type Traits, - Random Number Generators and Distributions, - Tuples, Fixed Size Array, Hash Function Objects, - Regular Expressions, and Complex Number Additional Algorithms.
