While we on the topic could somebody clarify these:
4. What implicit_cast.hpp is doing?
It converts its value argument to its type argument via implicit conversion.
Where is it documented? In cast.hpp it says that implicit_cast is removed due to uncertain purpose.
Some time after we figured out what it should do, I added it back in because I needed it. I thought that I had added it in boost::detail and someone else had it moved int boost::, but that appears not to be the case. It should be documented.
8. How iterator/detail/enable_if.hpp is different from utility/enable_if.hpp?
Subtly ;-) It essentially "goes quiet" on compilers that don't support SFINAE.
9. Lately many headers appeared in top level directory without being documented (or I have difficulties find docs). Shouldn't all top level headers be covered (unless it's trivial forward header) and have a reference in header itself where docs located?
Probably. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
