Ok good.  So it sounds like my concern isn't justified.

To be certain.  Because of tuples I prefer this:

typedef boost::tuples::tuple<unsigned int, double> some_pair;
typedef std::vector<some_pair > some_pairs;

to this:
struct some_pair
{ unsigned int i; double d; };
typedef std::vector<some_pair > some_pairs;

Is tuples meant to be used like the first example?

Thanks,
Graham

Hah! You've seen nothin' yet :-)
:-) If you want to see tuples pushed to the limits, see Boost.Fusion.
