Eh, you’re probably missing out. I remember C++20 being really convenient in comparison, though I forget why.

Eyeballing C++ 20, struct initialization with .member = blah is the one that jumps out.

But also, since the referenced bug involves Boost... I also haven't used Boost in years, since most everything I was using got pulled into modern C++ versions/STLs.

So if you're using C++98 and Boost, do yourself a favor and just switch to C++17 or 20 or whatever.
