Re: [boost] [smart_ptr] poly casts

Quoting Peter Dimov <pdimov@mmltd.net>:

Because the new casts are in TR1 and the polymorphic casts aren't. So if you care about portability between boost::shared_ptr and std::tr1::shared_ptr, you should stick to the new casts only.

Well, i don't care. For a std::tr1::shared_ptr there is no poly cast and thats ok. But there should be one for a boost::shared_ptr, because boost offers poly casts and they own so much. :] Thus, my question is why the ptr poly casts are not/no longer documented (i.e. not part of the public interface).
