I propose creating <boost/bind/bind.hpp>. Including it should result in the placeholders being in boost::placeholders namespace. <boost/bind.hpp> would now do nothing more than just include <boost/bind/bind.hpp> and bring all the placeholders into the global namespace.
That's not a bad plan, but it would've been even better if boost/bind/bind.hpp didn't already exist. :-)
Maybe boost/bind/library.hpp ( or boost/bind/all.hpp )
#include <boost/bind/bind.hpp>
using boost::placeholders::_1;
I'm having a bit of trouble deciding between the above and
using namespace boost::placeholders;
The using declarations are closer to the current code and would be a better bet compatibility-wise, but the using directive seems more correct somehow.
As long as the boost::placeholders namespace consists of only the declarations of _1 through _9, as in the current boost/bind/placeholders.hpp, the using directive seems fine.
