I feel it is too C++/CLI specific for Boost.

Is C++/CLI as a language evolving at all? The impression I had before
I left Microsoft was that it would never receive any major new
language features and was generally suggested only as a last resort
for use in conjunction with a language like C# to overcome performance
or other issues around interop.
