I created a simple example of echo server written with Boost.Asio and written with a small pimpl-wrapped Boost.Asio
<snip> It's fairly easy to convert a non-pimpl interface into a pimpl one, espcially if you need only a subset of it;
You are wrong. I would even say, you are absolutely wrong. Have you ever tried to "pimplize" Boost.Asio even with small subset? I'm thinking about this more then a year. I'm active used of Asio in production environment and I still had to learn **a lot** about structure of Asio and implement few dozen pimpl interfaces in various libraries in order to write **any** kind of wrapper for Asio. So do not expect from average Boost user to wrap Asio or even simpler libraries. Artyom
