Subject: Re: [Boost-users] Some boost headers use Objective-C keywords
Standard C++ library requires all std::locale facets to have a static member called "id" of type
std::locale::id which defines
this particular facet uniquly.
If "id" is a keyword than Objective C++ can't use std::locale object and its services + it can't use
all iostream library.
So this "requirement" can't be filled.

Subject: [Boost-users] Some boost headers use Objective-C keywords
I am using boost 1.49.0. An example of this is boost\local.hpp" which includes
"boost\locale\message.hpp" which defines "id" (an Objective-C keyword) as a local variable in one of
its inline functions. This causes an issue when boost headers are included in any code that is
parsed by the Objective-C compiler and makes it impossible to include some boost headers directly in
Objective-C source files. Would be nice if you could avoid using Objective-C keywords in all public
headers.
This is unfortunate, but I suppose sensible.
Would it be useful to prepare a list of these keywords as these are likely to be unknown to most
Boost authors who have no knowledge of this non-standard-compliant compiler?

Artyom's observation is a killer argument.
I withdraw my suggestion.
Objective is just wrong.
