Well, we knew that already. Look at the last 4 messages from this 
thread: <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/29507>

That is the real problem. And I think that the code in question is 
standard conformant C++, if someone thinks it isn't please provide some 
reason.

I am not using Windows (thus no VC), so I can only speculate: The 
problem might be connected to the use of

template<typename T> operator T()

but that's just a wild guess. I just seem to remember that I read about 
the VC having a small problem there. If this is in fact the problem, we 
might be lucky as my newest version no longer uses this conversion, 
instead I use a get<T>-function.

As the documentation is making only slow progress (that's not: "no 
progress" :), I think I'll try to hack together a non-typeof-version to 
give you some more stuff to test. Maybe this evening, otherwise it will 
be by the end of the week.

Regards, Daniel
