I think this is a really important point. Currently, it is really difficult to use boost with a C++11-aware compiler, because of the similarity of names between boost:: and std:: names. I know namespaces were designed to solve such problems, but except if the user explicitly qualifies every names, problems do occur (1). If boost just forwarded to the standard implementation if available, those problems would disappear. This would also allow a better interoperability between boost-aware code and C++11-aware code (passing a std::shared_ptr to boost.serialization, for instance). (1) Here is an example of a possible problem, this code can (rightly) fails to compile on a C++11 compiler: #include <string> #include <boost/smart_ptr.hpp> #include <boost/make_shared.hpp> using namespace boost; int main() { std::string s = "Hello world!"; shared_ptr<std::string> ptr = make_shared<std::string>(s); } -- Loïc
