What is the point of having the source code, when it take an experienced developer many weeks to understand what the library is doing underneath?
Write once code is easy to create, of course, but if you can't grok what's in a Boost library, then don't bother. Treat it like a black box.
Ah, the famous black box. I only wish the compiler would also understand that he has to treat the Boost library like a black box when emitting warnings and error messages. For the debugger, I even wish it could understand the semantics of the stored data, so that it could show me the data in a usable and easily readable format.
