Second, unlike the rest of Boost, the pp-lib is used outside of just C++ contexts--in real code in the real world. I.e. it is a C/C++ library, so it cannot pull in code assumed to target C++ only. Even if this is not the case with current Boost.Config, the pp-lib cannot place this restriction on Boost.Config (and vice versa).
I did not know that it also officially supported C. I don't believe that this is clearly mentioned in the online documentation. Can this be added to the introduction section? (Yes, the title does say "The Boost Library Preprocessor Subset for C/C++", but I think the C part of C/C++ is too easily overlooked.) Thanks, Mostafa
