This would be possible, but not easy and IMO ugly. A better solution
would be:
// @copied Combiner GroupCompare
explicit signal(const Combiner& = Combiner(), const GroupCompare& = GroupCompare());
It would even be possible to nominate unnamed parameters using something
like:
// @copied $1 $2
I should mention that none of this is implemented (yet:). But there is
already a framework for modifying the AST using comments so it wouldn't
be too hard to do.
David, I am not on the boost list yet. I may join it tomorrow, but I
will be busy today.
