As a side note I would really like to see libraries, which are tailored for Boost, use the Boost Config C++ feature testing macros to put out preprocessor #error messages when a feature that it needs is not supported during compilation, rather than letting the compiler simply fail because the construct in code cannot be parsed at the C++ conformance level the code expects.

This should happen during configure step, so that the user gets an error before even building the library. Paul
