Perhaps not quite as extensive (esp. in the algorithm section) but there 
are, from memory, 12 new container types (inc. Vectors, Maps, Sets, 
Lists) coming in Ada2005 and there are reference implementations out for 
all of them right now.

The hope is to use the ISO "IWA" process to expand on this. It wouldn't 
make anything an official part of the standard but it could lead to a 
'de facto' supplimentary standard.

Cheers
