The code is in the Boost Vault called Pimpl.zip

I haven't looked at your library, but one thing you need to do to get buy-in for this library is provide a comparison with the pimpl_ptr library that was proposed and rejected.

My perception of the primary reason the library failed is that, despite being a basically sound library, it didn't work in the ways people wanted it to.

Yes, I looked at that proposed implementation. Unfortunately, the major deficiency of it IMHO was that it was sacrificing implementation hiding (the main pimpl property) for the sake of generalization. I think I cover that in the docs at http://www.ddj.com/cpp/205918714.

It would be useful if you could summarize the vital details of your library, along with a comparison to the previous proposal, and other similar libraries, in your announcement message.

I hope I cover that at http://www.ddj.com/cpp/205918714 Thanks, Vladimir.
