Is there a Boost policy on resolving conflicts between Boost behavior and the
TR1 spec? As an example, std::tr1::is_base_of<T, T> returns true, but
boost::is_base_of<T, T> returns false. Changing Boost behavior would presumably
break existing code, but failing to implement TR1 semantics is likely to be
confusing/surprising to many.
My understanding is that Boost is committed to bringing its TR1-like libraries
into conformance with TR1, but it'd be helpful if people who follow Boost more
closely than I could confirm that.
Thanks,
Scott
