My reasoning is that a logging library should be lightweight in terms of source code; when I need logging, I'd rather not get boost::mpl too.
Understandable. Everything's a matter of tradeoffs. The project I'm working on has a slightly more involved logging use case. One concern I have is how much compile times will be affected by MPL and the templates I'm using and whether the flexibility is worth the cost.
One should keep in mind that MPL is specifically designed to avoid needless compile-time costs. Drawing in a few MPL headers may not be a measurable expense. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
