Is use of base class chaining in this way part of the public API of Boost.Operators? - Base may not be related to Boost.Operators in any way. Or should I use multiple inheritance instead?
Base class chaining has been a documented and stable part of the operators library's interface for a long time now and it is still relevant for today's compilers. It has not been deprecated and I don't see any reason to do so. As far as I'm concerned, it's an official part of the interface - no guarantees for the future, though.
That said, it's up to you how you make use of it. Just because it was designed as an internal helper shouldn't prevent you from using it for your own purposes.

Thanks. The only case I can think of that won't work is the unnumbered forms of binary operators. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
