Re: [boost] Removing Bind placeholders from the global namespace

Anyway, isn't boost::placeholders too presumptuous?

std::bind's placeholders are defined in namespace std::placeholders.

Those placeholders are really limited and as far as I can tell it would be tough to make them the foundation of anything except bind-like stuff. If you were to have (say) phoenix placeholders in boost::placeholders, you could still implement bind but the rest of the libraries could use the extra functionality. -- Sohail Somani http://uint32t.blogspot.com
