You can just include boost/serialization/smart_cast.hpp right now. <snip>
I see. My main cocnern is that in a bcp use case, having bcp pulling all serialization for smart_cast is a bit of an overkill. I think it deserves to live its own life in utility
So did I. And that's the way it was. But I was pressured by other boost developers to move to the private area of the serialization library as it had not be reviewed and accepted on it's own. This was in spite of the fact there were and are a large number of components in the "core" which have never been reviewed. In any case, if you feel this way, why don't re-package this as a separate library, add some tests, and submit it for a for a mini-review. I would then drop it from the serialization library. BTW - another component in exactly the same situation would be "state_saver", BOOST_STATIC_WARNING and perhaps others. Robert Ramey
