I understand. I didn't make the difference between accepted and "accepted,
but...".
Sorry if this has already been said, but does "accepted" means it already
has been merged into the Boost trunk or is it just a formal thing until
complete acceptance (and inclusion into the next release)?

Thanks for the info.
