I could not agree more.  LyX is not only an excuse to try out new and
exciting compiler technology.  Can you give us one argument why boost
regexp is better than what we have? Because it supports wide chars?
AFAIK we do not care about that in 1.3.0cvs. We it appears that we
need it (and even if lyx format changed to unicode we would not need
it, since regexps are not used on that), then it will be time to think
about that. 

I would feel much more excited at the prospect of trying out new
concepts in LyX code than buzzword-compliant technology (I am
currently making a review for a funding proposal, and I am sick of
middleware, XML, .NET, EJB, boost[*], RMI, SOAP and friends).  Show us
ideas.

[*] OK, OK, I made this one up, I admit it.  Even them dare not try out
    this particular technology.
