[Boost-users] Boost & Singletons?

Hi,

I was wondering if the boost library had a class that I could derive my
classes from to declare a singleton. For example:

class MyClass : public boost::singleton<MyClass> {};

Something like that. I noticed there's a singleton.hpp in
"boost\pool\detail", however this seems like an odd place for such a common
and useful class. I'm actually a bit scared to use anything in a 'detail'
folder, as usually (at least to me) that means private code or
implementation details (not to be used).

Is there a singleton type class in boost to help simplify the process of
creating a singleton? Thanks.
