I endorse both this tool being part of Boost. And having a review for it.

I endorse the tool, and I do not agree that it needs a review. Since when are we reviewing tools? These are not specifically for end-users the same way that libraries are. This tool is for supporting the libraries. As long as the tool works and is useful to some of the libraries I don't see why the review is necessary. Or to put it differently, what is the benefit of a REJECT outcome from a formal review of pretty_printers?

Given how this tool generates code that is directly part of Boost libraries I think a review would help in getting approval that it does things in a way that authors will accept. -- -- René Ferdinand Rivera Morell -- Don't Assume Anything -- No Supone Nada -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net
