Implementation wise, the approaches are quite different, thus it is not
likely that it is easy to merge much. It is possible that dcollections has
a richer API (I don't know), but Tango's is implemented to be extemely fast
and memory efficient (and have a fairly rich API). In terms of age,
dcollections is actually slightly older than tango.util.container, the
tango.util.collection package in Tango will be deprecated.

Steven is probably best suited to answer further questions, but he _has_
contributed to the new Tango containers.
