I don't think so, I'm getting them ok :)

Yes, I remember.  It feels like you had to waste time reinventing a wheel!

By maintaining a "no-boost" policy, future contributors might need to 
reinvent stuff instead of concentrating on the good work of improving 
the library.  We should focus on what we're good at and let the boost 
guys do their stuff.  The whole point of boost is to be re-used and 
ignoring it feels wrong to me.

Surely the best compromise is to use configure and -D to enable or 
disable features.  Configure exists to solve problems like this!  Why 
ignore the most suitable tool?

Anyway, all of this is masking the real issue which needs to be agreed - 
is the feature useful?  I vote yes.  Whether it's your v1 or v2 
implementation is a maintainer's decision, in my opinion.
