hi all,

is there an easy way to define recursive data structures?
something like:

struct my_node: boost::intrusive::list_base_hook<>
{
    boost::intrusive::list<my_node> children;
};

i am currently using a base class as helper, which causes very dirty code, 
since i explicitly need to cast from the base to the main class all over the 
place:

struct my_node_base: boost::intrusive::list_base_hook<> {};

struct node: my_node_base
{
    boost::intrusive::list<my_node_base> children;
};

thanks, tim
