90	boost::format bug	mpolatov	samuel_k	"{{{
1. Function boost::io::detail::maybe_throw_exception is 
defined in parsing.hpp so link error happended when you 
include file boost/format.hpp in two or more .cpp 
modules (inline specifier missed? :).

2. Why class basic_format has members
operator<< ( std::basic_ostream<Ch, Tr>& , const 
basic_format& );
and string_t str() const;
instead of just operator string_t() const; ?

Every time you just want to build string and pass it to 
somewhere you need to write statement something like 
that:
( boost::format( ""%1%..."" % ... ) ).str()

I believe it looks ugly...

Having operator string_t() const; also eliminate 
operator<< ( std::basic_ostream<Ch, Tr>& , const 
basic_format& ); if I not mistaken.
