I wanted just know if this was possible or not.
I think it's possible, the guidelines aren't entirely clear:

IMO it would be harmful to forbid it, since we should encourage innovative use of new features, but the library's rational would have to include a convincing justification. A possible example might be an allocator that only works with C++0x allocator_traits.
I hope some libraries will gain some C++0x extensions, in particular variadic methods allow for some nice tricks, I personally already use a variadic push_back /// Push an arbitrary length list of elements onto the back of a container template<typename T, typename... Args> void push_back(T& t, const Args&... args) and boost.assign can be made (in my opinion) much nicer looking, switching: list_of(2)(3)(5)(7)(11); to list_of(2,3,5,7,11) Chris
