That's right, they are not (yet) in the BCL, just like STL/CLR is not yet
part of .NET either, but that doesn't mean there are no implementations
available. Take a look at :

http://www.wintellect.com/powercollections

or (better) http://www.itu.dk/research/c5/

my guess is that we will see some of this added to the BCL in the Orcas time
frame.
