[ Note to comp.std.c++, the remark on on-topicness is about acllc-c++ ] On second thought, boost is to large to be on topic in acllc-c++, but as 2005 draws near it is very important to look ahead and see what of boost will be incorporated. If this is in any way clear, I propose to consider discussions about those topics on topic for this group. M4 --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
