Re: [boost] singleton design plan

I plan to sneak an improved version of the null developed by Scott Meyers in with this code in a header called boost/null.hpp, and use it in the singleton's implementation. It will be defined as follows:

[...]

#undef NULL #define NULL (::boost::null)

I violently object to sneaking in something that fundamental. I also object to this idea in general. It doesn't buy us much, it breaks existing code, it may cause ODR violations, and it also violates the C++ Standard.
