That's odd, the message abstraction is very generic -- it doesn't
assume anything about the protocols that will be using it.

The structure of a message is really very flexible, and using tags you
can even completely revamp the way a basic_message<> will look like
(and how the interface would be) for your context/protocol.

It would be nice to know why you think the architecture is not generic
enough when being as generic as possible is what the whole library was
designed to be.

Please do, this will be very interesting to us.

Thanks and have a good day!
