If someone is using Serialisation then isn't there a very high probability that they are also using DateTime?

I'd say there isn't. I'd say even if a user uses both Serialization and DateTime this doesn't mean he uses Serialization support in DateTime.

Ah - I had misunderstood DateTime did not imply Serialization support in DateTime. However, does my general point is that many users are already pulling in a large part of Boost, which may mean that your efforts may not be as useful in practice as in theory?

Sub-sub-modules sound Very Evil to me.

Why?

More complicated file layout. Will there be a sub-module GIT repo? Already getting sub-modules updated is troublesome. Bound to have side-effects? I've no idea how to avoid them, but they "Sound Evil" - if not "Smell Evil" ;-) Paul --- Paul A. Bristow Prizet Farmhouse Kendal UK LA8 8AB +44 01539 561830
