Hi there,

Following from

 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/243923/focus=243924

I am posting a more focused and specific request to review a patch to
bump compiler requirements to require support for partial template
specialization.

This allows the removal of a lot of workaround code:

 src/boost-trunk{master}$ ../kf5/remove_def.py
BOOST_NO_TEMPLATE_PARTIAL_SPECIALIZATION
 src/boost-trunk{master}$ git diff --shortstat
 192 files changed, 4798 deletions(-)

Obviously I would not commit all of that as a single patch.

Any comments?

Thanks,

Steve.
