Comment (by claas.koehler@…):

 I think the general agreement was, that the Fusion Patch is preferable,
 since my patch constitutes a quick and dirty solution only. That's why I
 never took any further attempts in submitting tests.

 However, since the Fusion patch has not been released, I have been using
 my version privately for quite a while now and patched every version of my
 local boost, because I require the functionality in several projects. I
 would prefer to stop doing this as soon as possible, of course.

 Maybe it would be good to poll in boost devel mailing list, why the patch
 has not been applied so far and then take the necessary steps to finally
 get it into production.

 My personal preference would be to apply Kohei Takashi's patch with the
 necessary testing, if it is working, regardless of any other old versions
 (see Jeffrey's comment 20 months ago). A good solution today is definitely
 better than a perfect one in another 20 months from my point of view.

 Regards Claas
