Fine. So it should be documented in the header policy
(http://www.boost.org/header.htm).]
I must say I prefer .C/.H but I accept the case sensitivity argument. My
second preference would be for .cc/.hh but if this is not accepted as default
for every compiler then I could live with .cpp/.hpp (ISTR AIX's compiler
required something unusual but you could force it to eat .C/.H - similarly for
an old Digital compiler).
Whatever we pick, it should be in the header policy. I would also suggest that
the source & header extensions are 'compatible', i.e., one of the following
pairs:
.cc/.hh
.cpp/.hpp
.cxx/.hxx
