Re: [boost] Interest in a 'Boost.property' library?

This is surely a controversial feature. I see some use of properties, like allowing to add checks on setting values to a type which was a simple struct initially (which happen a lot in data-centric designs). Also it can make things clear that the provided function is really an accessor and nothing more (like the = operator which should do nothing more than a copy or move). I'm not against properties, I see some cases where they might be useful, however I don't like all the non-native solutions proposed with C++. The main reason is that these solutions adds a lot of noise for not much. Joel Lamotte
