Re: [boost] Review Request: Generalization of the Pimpl idiom

Hello,

First of all, I think that a pimpl library should have a place in boost, but 
I think that the pimpl idiom do not scale very well (see below).

Even if your library is usable in simple cases, I would like to see how it 
can manage more complex cases. And if no satisfactory solution to this case 
is possible, that the library states explicitly when it can not be used.

Do you think to write the library documentation before the review? Even if 
there is a tutorial in DDJ, IMHO,  you should spend some time on the 
documentation of the library before the review.
