Let us discuss that:

1) Boost::global example:

typedef boost::global<int> global_Int;
global_int.get() = 5; // getting the global int 

2) Boost::Singleton example:

typedef boost::Singleton<int> global_Int;
global_Int::Instance() = 5;

I really do not understand the appreciable advantage of the 1) over the 2)
and vice versa.:confused: The only thing I could say is that "get" is
shorter word than "Instance", isn't it?
