How is this different from the situation with filesystem::path, where eager checking has turned out to be painful for a broad spectrum of users?

I am not familiar with the problem in boost::fs so I can't comment on that specifically, but I can comment in a more general sense. I think we can safely agree that:

1. There is an invariant that is valuable in some problem domains 2. There may be some problem domains in which it is valuable to sidestep that invariant

I see. That is different. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
