RE: [boost] Adapters for member variables

Hi Gary,

I agree with you that a lambda function would probably be better.

My question is: Is it worth dragging in an entire library [heavily
templatized (It matters, at least for VC++ users)] for the sake of 
this one thing? Plus, for orthogonality in the STL, we should have 
binders for member data as well as member functions.

What do you think?

Best Rgds,
Sai
