Thanks for the quick reply, just downloaded a copy of boost, and
toyed with the
filter_iterator and i came up with this....
std::list<A> the_output( boost::make_filter_iterator( std::bind2nd(

the_collection.end()), boost::make_filter_iterator(
std::bind2nd(std::equal_to<A>(), A(3)), the_collection.end(),
the_collection.end()));
If you are going to copy into a new collection anyway, just use
remove_copy_if with not_equal_to for the predicate:
std::list<A> the_output;
remove_copy_if(the_collection.begin(), the_collection.end(),
back_inserter(the_output),
std::bind2nd(std::not_equal_to<A>(), A(3)) );
was this approach u had in mind? is there a way to clean this up? ie
reduce the need for defining then predicate twice.
Doesn't seem to be.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
