Re: [boost] Removing Bind placeholders from the global namespace

Steven Watanabe:

Wouldn't it be possible to have the placeholders in both boost::placeholders and in the global namespace and deprecate the ones in the global namespace, so that the changes don't need to be made all at once?

It would be possible, but I doubt that it would help. The libraries in general tend to not move away from deprecated functionality unless they break. So it might be better to just force the change.
