I'm wondering if given the existence of a boost and std version of the same library, it might be better policy to prefer the boost version.

I agree 100%. Also this is the approach which I recommend to my students. Although my reasoning was a little different. I did not focus on std:: implementation discrepancies between various vendors. I rather emphasized fact that boost is always at least 5 years ahead of the standard. And most likely you need a feature now, rather than wait 5 years. Then in 5 years you have plenty of code which already uses boost. No need to reorganize it now and switch it to std:: best regards Janek Kozicki
