I believe:
a) This is true, b) This is a problem. c) That as a problem it's under appreciated by us C++ fans d) That we have to explicitly address it in some way in order to keep C++ from being a victim of it's own success.
I am unclear what this has to do with Boost specifically. (I also don't believe it is solvable since it is diametrically opposed to the C++ Committee goal of backwards compatibility [which is a two edged sword: a huge strength from a language adoption point of view, but a liability from a language design point of view], but if you have concrete ideas on how to solve it, I'm all ears in a more appropriate forum.) -- Nevin ":-)" Liber <mailto:nevin@eviloverlord.com> (847) 691-1404
