That being said, projects have conventions and if it is a convention for you, that's fine. I wouldn't make everyone use this convention through Boost.Pimpl though.

I agree with you, and that's why if you go back and look at the context of my response, I was writing with respect to pimpl<...>::pointer_semantics. No where did I make any suggestions on the use of pimpl<...>::value_semantics.

Glad we agree! I may have accidentally snipped out some context when I quoted you originally: "When dealing with pimpl'd classes, the expected norm (in my experience) for making deep copies is to use the clone function."
