Slightly off-topic: are there any plans to add Chaos to Boost?
+1
As some sort of technological preview? It is not portable enough to be used within Boost, though perhaps a slew of regression failures will cause that to change (unlikely). <rant>MS, in particular, is too busy taking it upon themselves to "ensure C++ is relevant" to prioritize implementing the language.</rant> Also, one of the principles of Chaos is to have absolutely zero compiler workarounds, and that would have to stay if it was ever part of Boost.
I don't see why one compiler's lack of standards-conformance should prevent a useful library from becoming part of Boost. Regards, Nate
