Thanks to all who have submitted a review and the healthy issue discussion.
The review is scheduled to wrap up tomorrow. We can certainly continue to
discuss after the deadline since I don't believe another review is scheduled,
but if you're thinking of reviewing sooner would be better than later.

Thanks,

Jeff

*******************************************************************

The review of the Robert Kawulak's Constrained Value library begins today
December 1, 2008, and will end on December 10th -- I will be the review
manager. Please post reviews to the developer list.

Here's the library synopsis:

The Boost Constrained Value library contains class templates useful for
creating constrained objects. A simple example is an object representing an
hour of a day, for which only integers from the range [0, 23] are valid values.

        bounded_int<int, 0, 23>::type hour;
        hour = 20; // OK
        hour = 26; // exception!

Behavior in case of assignment of an invalid value can be customized. The
library has a policy-based design to allow for flexibility in defining
constraints and behavior in case of assignment of invalid values. Policies may
be configured at compile-time for maximum efficiency or may be changeable at
runtime if such dynamic functionality is needed.

The library can be downloaded from the here:
http://rk.go.pl/f/constrained_value.zip

The documentation is also available online here:
http://rk.go.pl/r/constrained_value

---------------------------------------------------

Please state in your review, whether you think the library should be
accepted as a Boost library. Additionally, please consider the following
aspects in your review of the library:

- What is your evaluation of the design?
- What is your evaluation of the implementation?
- What is your evaluation of the documentation?
- What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library?
- Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any
problems?
- How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick
reading? In-depth study?
- Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain?

Thanks,

Jeff
