That's a good idea.  I like it more than 'explore'.  Still, to me it
sounds like such a big word for something so basic in use.  Unless
you are extending it, there's literally no interface to the library
other than operator<<.

So I was thinking some more about a better name.  What do you think of
Boost.Out?
