I see. I'll do that then.

Is there any discussion of this issue ("inheriting from Boost classes  
considered harmful") somewhere in the Boost docs? (I never noticed  
one.) Given that Boost is a C++ framework, I'm sure I won't be the  
last person to try to specialize the classes via inheritance. Just a  
simple "there be dragons here" admonition would suffice.
