This is something I've been meaning to get feedback on, actually. The
problem with giving things their own namespace is IMO it gets a bit
ugly, for example:

boost::cgi::fcgi::service service;

The thing I've been wondering is about a single library dumping more than
one namespace into the boost namespace, so you'd have boost::cgi,
boost::fcgi and boost::scgi. I guessed that idea would be shot down in
flames though.

Why do you not like the typedef-header scheme? Too fickle?
