Hm, by the way (this is more a general question):
Since it will obviously take some time for this functor to make it into boost officially, what would you recommend for me to do now? I just edited compare.hpp already to feature an is_iless functor (no big deal) and it works just fine. But using a self-modified version of a library file in my program is not such a good idea right?
If you were me, would you put that functor into a separate file until it's officialy in boost, or just edit the original boost file in /usr/include/boost/<...> and "pretend" it would already be in the library?
It is your code tree, so it is purely up to you to make decision. But I would suggest to make your functor unrelated to a boost tree and potentialy to replace it in the future with the boost version. This way you have the best probability to avoid conflicts. Regards, Pavol
