I am not quite sure what you mean by 'real' in this context, but yes some domains in i18n that were not possible before, will be possible with this patch going in. Specifically reordering of arguments. As it stands now it adds a bit too much memory footprint, but I am (planning on) handling that with some explicit instantaions of some boost classes/templates. (we should perhaps use that for other boost stuff as well). -- Lgb
