That's a pity - a lot of libraries could have greatly benefitted from concepts. On the plus side, we really don't want to end up with a repeat of the export debacle or similar. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost

I think it is a tragedy. While reading about why not to use C++, or STL, or Boost, the biggest issue I've seen recently is "template error messages are too large and meaningless". Bjarne has said that one C++0x's was to make it more user friendly, but it appears we will lose the biggest feature towards that goal. Also, export is an entirely different issue with a much narrower potential usage scenarios.
