Research direction

Start by reviewing the external boost-indexing-suite repository and comparing its added std containers with the current Boost.Python master indexing suite. Determine the inclusion scope and compatibility requirements, then verify the current channel for user questions from the linked community guidance; done means there is a decided, documented path for both requests.
