hi all,
here's a first patch:
it was generated using the command 'svn diff > ../boost.diff"
questions on the formatting of new code (conforming standards used at gdb-patches@gnu.org):
1) can lines exceed the 80 character limit?
With the widespread use of wider screens, some Boost authors are already edging beyond 80 char width.

Perhaps we should relax the 80 char width recommendation? (and anyway it is only a recommendation? - Readability comes first?) Paul PS Using 2 space indentation reduces the risk of running over the 80 width, so is my preference. --- Paul A.
