Ticket #637 - Adjusts mpl::pair concept to be compatible with STL pairs

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/637 Is this feature request still sensible or does fusion make this useless somehow ? If not, I can provide patch+test -- ___________________________________________ Joel Falcou - Assistant Professor PARALL Team - LRI - Universite Paris Sud XI Tel : (+33)1 69 15 66 35

It looks like there were patches which got lost when we moved to trac/svn. Anyway, 1) This is not a widely needed feature. 2) Breaking backwards compatibility is out of the question, IMO. 3) Preserving backwards compatibility increases the compile time cost of using mpl::pair.

So should we close this as wontfix ? -- ___________________________________________ Joel Falcou - Assistant Professor PARALL Team - LRI - Universite Paris Sud XI Tel : (+33)1 69 15 66 35

I've added a comment to the ticket asking the original submitter for clarification of the patch's original motivation (which is not clear to me). -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
