Comment:

 This is by design: error_as_string is an implementation detail. The formal
 documentation for error_info is here:
 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/exception/doc/error_info.html.


 The latest version supports what you want in a different way; for example
 error_info<tag_foo_error,int> can be printed differently from
 error_info<tag_bar_error,int> by diagnostic_information. See
 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/exception/doc/diagnostic_information.html

 for details.
