Description

Now that we have mandated C++11 as a requirement for 1.9.0 onwards, the following boost features can be moved to std:::

• array
• scoped_ptr (in favor of unique_ptr)
• shared_ptr
• static_assert
• type_traits
• weak_ptr
• noncopyable (in favor of = delete for copy constructors)
• ptr_container (in favor of container of unique_ptr)

With that the only boost features still in use will be:

• any
• blank
• format
• iostreams
• regex
• program_options

Of these any is part of C++ }}17 and hence when {{C++ }}17 is used we can use {{std:: for that too.
