As Jeremy said earlier, the get() and put() functions can go anywhere they can be reached by argument-dependent lookup when called as get(property_map,key_value) or put(property_map,key_value,new_value). The parameters are as I just showed --- i.e. the description is in terms of valid call expressions, not in terms of actual function signatures. > 2) What is the necessary interface to a property map which you mention > above.

To meet the concept described in Jeremy's docs, a property map must define the necessary property_traits for its chosen category, and it must support get() and/or put() and maybe operator[] as necessary for its chosen category. > Finally I would like a non-partisan answer from you to my next question and > I am perfectly willing to be wrong and accept the fact that my lack of > understanding of "concept" based explanations are at fault.

As Jan Langer pointed out, there are specific pages for each of the property map categories. If you missed these you will have difficulty piecing everything together.
