Is someone willing to explain to me why we have Predef and Config?

I only have one data point to contribute: I use Boost.Config, but I do not use Boost.Predef. Correlation does not imply causation.

There have been a handful of instances, I'm aware of, of external, non-Boost, users of *only* Predef. There's even a conference talk where the presenter recommends people use Predef. Does that point towards keeping them separate? Does it point to anything at all? -- -- René Ferdinand Rivera Morell -- Don't Assume Anything -- No Supone Nada -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net
