Since UUIDs are generally used to identify resources, it could be that someone wants to instantiate Boost.Unordered with UUID. I don't know exectly what are the requirements for the type parameter of Boost.Unorder, but I hope that most of them are yet met by UUID. Surely it is necessary to extend Boost.Hash, but according to < http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/doc/html/hash/custom.html> this can be done defining a free function without any explicit coupling with Boost.Unordered/Hash. Summarizing the support for Boost.Hash/Unorded should be a zero-cost addition which should't cause the inclusion of no headers from those libraries. Best regards, Manuel Fiorelli
