Re: [boost] [ANN] Phoenix-2 prerelease

Hi,
Here's a pre-release package of Phoenix-2. Jaakko and I agreed that it will be the basis of the Phoenix and Boost Lambda merger. This version is Phoenix 1 + Lambda + a lot more.
Take note though that this is not a drop-in replacement of Phoenix-1 for Spirit users. In particular, there is no closure support. Phoenix-2 has true local variables. The plan for Spirit-2 is to replace closures with local variables.
Docs: http://tinyurl.com/77pz5
The pre-release package is here: http://spirit.sourceforge.net/dl_more/phoenix_v2.zip
Just drop it where Phoenix-1 is and run the examples/tests. Comments, feedback very welcome!
Composites What we have seen so far, are what are called primitives. You can think of primitives (such as values, references and arguments) as atoms. They are not decomposable. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What does that mean to me, the reader? Is not this primitive/composite distinction purely an implementation detail? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

I see your point that the fact they are "decomposable" is probably not that important to users. I think of the primitives are basic components, building blocks. Composites provide the glue with which they can be recombined to new and more interesting purposes. Maybe this part of the docs should put more emphasis on the capability of composites to combined things, rather than the fact they can be thought of as decomposable?
