Second, this is a new feature. Shouldn't it wait till after 1.46 goes out?
Traditionally, yes.
But (1) it seems like a pretty harmless change, and this is a "not really part of any library" merge that is always being forgotten. There was already a prior change to assert.hpp that had never been merged to release.
And (2) part of the point of more time between beta and release is to allow time for more changes to get into release. We need to formalize that as we do the schedule for 1.47.0, but I'm already moving in that direction.
I agree with allowing more time for changes to get into release during the beta period, however, by "changes" I think most people think "bug fixes", not new features. Note that this is a general comment and not a comment on the particular commit in question since I am not a Boost developer. --Michael Fawcett
