Comment(by pavol_droba):

 Hi,
 The reason is purely cosmetic.
 The list of possible function combination is very large, so some common
 sense needs to be applied to filter out the really useful ones. The
 library is crowded already.

 Therefore the variant that you mention was left out. It is so easy to
 achieve (just provide boost::is_space() as last argument) and I dare to
 say that it is not used that frequently to have this variant in the boost
 directly.

 Regards,
 Pavol
