Comment:

 Ulrich,

 this issue was on my weekly issue review page for quite some time, and I
 guess I should do something at last. I think you'll agree that this issue
 is somewhat controversial, and did not gain, at least yet, much support.
 In fact, it does not seem anybody has agreed with this specific approach.
 Therefore, it does not seem right to track this issue as a
 defect/enhancement that "Boost community" wishes to solve. In other words,
 this issue does not constitute an action item either for me, or anybody
 except for you. Then, it's better kept on your personal todo list -- and
 then, if you prototype enough of this and convince boost folks this should
 be implemented, it can be re-added back to "Boost todo list".

 Because of the above, I am closing this issue as wontfix.

 Thanks,
 Volodya
