Because the types are exposed in user APIs and I'd like to prevent locking Boost in there. I think there's a case where Boost headers are needed for clients now, and I think that's a problem. > While defining these types in the default namespace is making up for a > standardisation defiiciency, its likely to conflict with user code. Avoiding such a clash would be good, but I think bringing Boost types up would be bad. Another solution would be great if you have ideas. -Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache Qpid - AMQP Messaging Implementation Project: http://qpid.apache.org Use/Interact: mailto:dev-subscr...@qpid.apache.org
