Is there a convenient way to wrap std::pair as a new type?

Question

Often times I find myself using std::pair to define logical groupings of two related quantities as function arguments/return values. Some examples: row/col, tag/value, etc.

Answer 1

A coworker pointed me to two possible solutions:

Using boost strong typedef as an improved version of the typedef. I'd never heard of this before, and it doesn't seem to really be part of any sub-library, just kind of floating.

Using a macro to generate the code needed for the different operators. This way I wouldn't have to explicitly write anything on a per definition level, just do something like DEFINE_PAIR_TYPE(Position, int, int, row, col);. This is probably closest to what I'm looking for, but it still feels kind of evil compared to some of the solutions presented by others.
