Geometry Boost List: [geometry] boost::geometry::touches(point,box) does not compile

I am curious why the following code does not compile.

#include <boost/geometry/algorithms/touches.hpp>
#include <boost/geometry/geometries/box.hpp>
#include <boost/geometry/geometries/point_xy.hpp>

int main ()
{
  using point_type = boost::geometry::model::d2::point_xy<int>;
  using box_type = boost::geometry::model::box<point_type>;

  point_type point { 0,0 };
  box_type box { {0,0},{1,1} };
  boost::geometry::touches(point,box);
}

It seems that touches() is not implemented for a point and a box, although it would seem to be simple to implement.

Cheers,
Brook
