Thanks for your reply. Yes, I know. VC++ 7.1 does handle all of Boost correctly and compiles 100% of it correctly. Given that, let me try my question again. What parts of Boost best emplify advanced uses of templates such as Partial Template Specialization and are understandable in small pieces? The goal is to put together a "teaching demo" on things like Partial Template Specialization and then show how it is used in practice in libraries like Boost. Thanks in advance.

I have a question that may appear somewhat strange-). I am working with Partial Template Specialization and in particular how VC++ 7.1's upcoming compiler supports it 100%. To that end, I would like to look at and compile Boost code that makes particular use of this 1) to make sure it compiles 2) show it working with VC++ 7.1, 3) Able to grok in fairly short period of time and use in small pieces of demo code. I see a lot of interesting possible things in Boost but 2 things that came to mind: Smart Pointers (scoped_ptr) and concepts. Are there better ones for my purposes and/or better "consumers" of partial templates?
I don't know if this answers your question, but VC7.1 correctly handles all of boost as far as I know - in fact boost was used as a test bed for early alpha compiler versions.
