TPL suffixes are sometimes inconvenient. I implemented a wrapper that derives from BOOST_TYPEOF(wrap(something)) in emulation mode.
The wrap function is
template<class T> mpl::identity<T> wrap(T&);
It's somewhat similar to BOOST_TYPEOF_NESTED_TYPEDEF but not a replacement for it. Is there any interest in my idea?
Only if you can prove that it works on all the compilers ;-) My attempts to remove _TPL by using mpl::identity (and a few other indirection ways), immediately after Boost.Typeof acceptance, resulted in ICE on one of older compilers -- I think it was GCC 3.3, debug mode only, windows.
BTW, BOOST_TYPEOF_NESTED_TYPEDEF cannot be used at function/block scope but this fact is not documented.
I think Peder was going to do this at some point... Peder? Regards, Arkadiy
