Re: [boost] boost and vendor's TR1 implementations

Hello All,

Today there is at least two implementations of TR1 library extensions shipped with compilers. I mean VS 2008 SP1 and gcc 4.3.x STL. Because of boost has it's own implementation of TR1 there is some problems with migrating code to this compilers. For example:

1. There is many ambiguous names if both boost and std::tr1 exposed into global namespace.

"Doctor, it hurts when I do this..." ;-)

2. boost::transform_iterator knows nothing about std::tr1::bind shipped with VS2008 compiler.
