Thanks, but I'm by no means an expert! All experience I have is some 1.5
years of heavy exposure. I was hoping that an expert would maybe tune into
the discussion here at boost.
BTW, an adapted version of your double-dispatch implementation made it into
my library.

Good point (I didn't know as I'm not using structs all that often), I will
change code and docs accordingly. However, I won't release for about two
weeks, as reviewers might get confused if changes happen more often.

Thanks,
