RE: [boost] FORMAL review of "Output Formatters" - votes needed

While it might seem nice to have symmetry here, I think the emphasis is on
HUMAN-readable output.

MACHINE-readable formats would be shorter and probably not human-friendly.

So my vote is NO REQUIREMENT for input facilities.

But if they have no 'cost' then 

I vote YES for including them.

In other words, I am sitting on the fence ;-)

| 
| Dear boosters,
| 
| There's been quite a hot debate about "Output Formatters" library.
| 
| Reece has provided some input facilies in this library as well.
| This has drawn people to either sides: some don't want these input 
| facilities, while others do.
| 
| To conclude, I would like to ask you to vote:
| - "Yes" - in favor of Input facilities
| - "No"  - don't want Input facilities.
| 
| 
| My personal vote is "No".
| Please share your own.
| 
| Best,
| John
