In many cases, I'd rather design a C-style interface that takes pointers to incomplete types or even void pointers. Then *maybe* if it makes sense I would use meta-programming tricks in the implementation.
I'll take the speed and expressive power of a generic object/function framework with references over a C-style interface any day. Unless I need to interface w/ another language, in which case I'll write a C-style wrapper... For some other poor schmuck to use. I am thankful for each day that I don't have to look at a void * interface, and hope they all die a swift, but exquisitely painful death. </troll_bait> But let's see your proposed boost interface improvements. Otherwise, this is all meaningless opinion hawking, best served up on IRC or some general C++ news forum. Jon
