I would like to know if there is interest in incorporating a generic Base2/16/32/64 encoding library into Boost.
it would be great if that could be added to as filters to boost.iostreams ... it is listed on this wiki page [1], which seems to be some kind of todo list.
Not only, I hope.
I for one do not wish to depend on such a massive library full of things I really do not care about, just to get such fundamental transformations.
I'd prefer a freestanding Boost library that Iostreams could be made to trivially depend on to implement its filters.
On could implement this as a standard conforming code_convert facet which could then be attached to any stream. Actually there might be room in boost for a code_convert facet library based on composed/nested iteratator adaptors. Robert Ramey
