Wonderful!
I'm curious as to how one would pass initializer lists to a Boost.Parameter enabled constructor. It looks like s/he would have to create a base class that handles all the initialization while the derived class, which is the frontend, passes on the arguments. Am I right?
Yes, that's correct. I see two options for the constructor macros: 1) Delegate to base class constructor. 2) Two-step construction by delegating to init() member function. At this point only the first one is supported, because it's generally just a better way. I was going to implement the second one too, but I don't know if I have time and I'm not prioritizing it. -- Daniel Wallin
