Hmmm. This reminds me of using the STL algorithms before having Boost.Lambda, Boost.Bind, etc. Without a library of predefined function objects that perform useful, reusable adaptations, or a lambda approach to creating the adapters, one winds up separating the value extraction logic from the context in which it is used.
The Boost.Optional::adapter syntax is its own predefined library and, though lambda is a fantastic approach, it won't compile using Microsoft so we can't say it's the new paradigm.
lambda works on Microsoft VC7.1 and above. Did I miss the context of your statement? Cheers, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net
