4700	Code bloat and slowing down compilation	Ilya Murav'jov <muravev@…>	Samuel Krempp	"1. Function basic_format::operator%(const T& x) generate distinct bits for every type. It is too redundant to instantiate them for every ""const char [N]""! For example, one for ""a"", one for ""ab"", one for ""abc"" and so on. Here is a patch:

{{{
        template<int N_>
        basic_format&   operator%(char const (&x)[N_])
            { return io::detail::feed<CharT, Tr, Alloc, char const * const&>(*this,(char const * const&)x); }

}}}

2. I use Boost.Format for i18n (heavily); just #include <boost/format.hpp> and one (!) using of boost::format() gets over 400kb in object code and ~0.4 sec slowness (for gcc). So I want to include only <boost/format/format_class.hpp> (declaration only) and instantiate types in a distinct source.
But <boost/format/format_class.hpp> is not self all-sufficient. I have to include something like this:

{{{
#include <boost/config.hpp>

#ifndef BOOST_NO_STD_LOCALE
#include <locale>
#endif

#include <boost/format/format_class.hpp>
}}}
