7775	Allow algorithm::join to accept a container of char*	Sergey Mitsyn <svm at jinr.ru>	Marshall Clow	"Sometimes it would be nice to join strings in this way:

{{{
const char *names[] = {""Jane"", ""John"", ""Kate"", ""Kyle""};

std::cout << boost::algorithm::join(names, "", "") << std::endl;
}}}

Can join be fixed to accept char*[]? 

I think that one possible change would be in using a wrapper for a range_value<> that would return std::basic_string for a range_value<>::type which is a T* and range_value<>::type if it is something else. Anyway invoking join with a range value of T* with T not representing a character data is erroneous.

Another option is to use the result of evaluation of operator+(range_value, separator) - so a user can pass std::string in the case above to make it valid, but I'm not sure if this is possible and/or portable.
