Seems like FBVector would be most useful when a vector needs to be reallocated a lot and you're not sure what size you need, so you can't just reserve space. There may be better solutions if this is a bottleneck in a program."...will improve the performance of your C++ code using vectors with common coding patterns." I'm skeptical about how much performance is gained and how often in practice, especially for a programmer that is somewhat aware of efficiency from the beginning of the design process.Not sure about the other parts of the library.
