3610	boost::format copy constructor can create format object in unexpected state.	David Ward <davidjward30@…>	Samuel Krempp	"If I copy construct a new boost::format object, I expect it to be in a (re)useable state. However, the following code throws a boost::io::too_many_args exception

{
	boost::format f(""%d"");

	std::cout << f % 10 << std::endl;
	std::cout << f % 10 << std::endl;  // format object can be reused

	boost::format f2(f);
	std::cout << f2 % 10 << std::endl; // exception raised - new format is not in a valid state for formatting
}


On inspection of the code, the copy constructor always sets the dumped_ member to false, yet it copies the cur_arg_ from the rhs object. It's hard to see how this behaviour might be desirable.
