So, we seem to be in total agreement :-)
My only concern was that this violates the Boost naming convention, but I
think
getting things to work is more important. Besides, you pointed to a
precedent. I also
know another one -- bind placeholders.
I will not be available next week, but after that, unless somebody suggests
a better alternative,
I will implement this (I hope CVS is stable at that point, and we are not
yet in the code freeze).
