It's similar for me. It's one of those things that you don't need every day, but when you need it, you really need it. That may be why there's not more vociferous interest. Anyhow, while bidirectional maps are the most common case, they're not the most general: N-directional maps, which I've sometimes needed. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
