Just gauging initial interest in a boost.deepcopy library, analogous to deepcopy in python. Each type would register deepcopy behaviour with the library (there are similarities to boost.serialize). Boost.deepcopy would supply out-of-the-box registration for pod types, pointer types, arrays, stl containers and common boost containers. Example:

I'm not sure why I would want to use something like this. Normally, in C++, the copy constructor is expected to do a deep copy, when it exists. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
