Well, I think some individuals here (I'd put myself in that camp) are opposed to injecting anything into the global namespace if it can be helped, and here it certainly can be helped. So if we add a nullptr emulation in Boost, it's going to have to be paired with a using macro, a different name (i.e., boost::nullptr_), or both. If no one will use this utility given the latter imperfections, I'm fine with just dropping the proposal altogether and everyone can go back to using NULL or C++11. Just to put in my vote for not putting anything in the global namespace but providing a "BOOST_USING_NULLPTR" macro. We keep our nullptr emulation in our library namespace too and would gladly switch to a boost one.
