I am sorry, what is D&E?
Design and Evolution of C++ by Bjarne Stroustrup.
From the end of chapter 18 "The C Preprocessor " ( last Para ) :
"I'd like to see Cpp abolished. However, the only realistic and responsible way of doing that is first to make it redundant, then encourage people to use the better alternatives, and <em> then </em> - years later - banish Cpp into the program development with the other extra-linguistic tools where it belongs."
I basically agree with this, too. But the preprocessor is currently far from redundant, so I don't see this as an argument against BOOST_FOREACH. Jonathan
