 Trying to write programmes, using unique ids per thread and only per
 thread, recommend  themselves to be numbered by this_thread:get_id().
 Unfortunately, the data-member (in
 "boost\boost\thread\detail\thread.hpp":line 50.) is both.:
 0. declared private (not protected),
 1. not exported by an access-function.
 Right now, in order to maintain maximum compatibility as well as the
 emission of the same old error-messages, I just added the missing access-
 functions.:
 const   thread_data&const_Wert(void)const{return        thread_data;};
         thread_data&      Wert(void)      {return       thread_data;};
 Similarly I moved "typedef ... super_t;" in
 "boost\boost\iterator\filter_iterator.hpp":line 50 to the public-scope, as
 I needed it for my typedefs and did not see a point in deplaring any
 typedef as an unpublican(ian)^n (for an appropriate n>=0).

 Hence my request to.:
 a. generally use the keyword private only iff public/protected access-
 functions-to the underlying data exist.
 b. To put typedefs in the public/protected area only, or at least to put
 typedefs in there, allowing acces to all types that might be needed
 (somewhen.).
 b. To typedef all template-parameters like class Predicate, class Iterator
 in the aforementioned "filter_iterator.hpp", where, later on I did write a
 less restricted version of this class (But did not invest the same amount
 of work, just to add some access-functions.).

                 Tschuess,
                         Michael.
 P.S.: I did append the ammended version of "Filter_iterator" in order to
 illustrate, what I meant (sorry for the partly German names.).
 P^2.S.: As I am not a "TeX"-guy, does anyone know how to switch off the
 superspript mode..
