[boost] BOOST_TRY, can we make it into CVS?

I would like to ask someone with write access to CVS to create file
boost/details/exception_helpers.hpp (or so) with content:

#include <boost/config.hpp>
#include <boost/detail/workaround.hpp>

#if !(defined BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS)
#    define BOOST_TRY { try
#    define BOOST_CATCH(x) catch(x)
#    define BOOST_RETHROW throw;
#    define BOOST_CATCH_END }
#else
#    if BOOST_WORKAROUND(__BORLANDC__, BOOST_TESTED_AT(0x564))
#        define BOOST_TRY { if ("")
#        define BOOST_CATCH(x) else if (!"")
#    else
#        define BOOST_TRY { if (true)
#        define BOOST_CATCH else if (false)
#    endif
#    define BOOST_RETHROW
#    define BOOST_CATCH_END }
#endif

circular_buffer, serialization and multi_index_container may use this code.

It was discussed on the list and reaction was rather positive.

TIA
