Re: [boost] Interest in a container which can hold multiple data types?

You're correct in that a vector<boost::any> can achieve the same thing, and that would probably be the better way to implement this internally. I guess the proposal would be to provide the container interface to give some data modification functions and iterators which iterate over only a given type and such. That way there would be a standardized container with methods to deal with the data in a type specific way. -- James Armstrong
