Too bad that new cxx64 ABI couldn't mandate a standard #pragma (or 
something like that) to turn it on/off ("you should not pay for what 
you don't use" motto, you know). BTW, "__thread" extension aside for 
a moment (I guess it would fit best for boost::spirit), DCCI 
http://groups.google.de/groups?selm=415BD983.E2DA2114%40web.de is 
also an option for lazy inits (although its non-blocking strength 
gets totally eliminated in the case of blocking "new lazy()").

regards,
alexander.
