Re: [boost] static templates in BOOST

OK I see this now. I was confused as I never noticed I did this.  I have
used static member functions a lot so that confused me also.  Now I have a
question.

I noticed I used something like the following a few times (access.hpp)

template<class U>
static inline void smart_cast_reference(U& u) {}

template <typename T>
void foo(int c)
{
   smart_cast_reference<int>(c);
}

I wouldn't expect that to cause any linking problems (note the "inline")
which is perhaps why no other compilers complain.  What SHOULD I be doing
here?
