[boost] Re: smart_ptr.hpp newline problem

The Java spec spent one sentence assuring programmers that CR, CR-LF, and LF
are all acceptable line terminators.  Is that supposed to be rocket science
or something?  Now I wish I'd raised the point during the C++ deliberations,
somehow I assumed it would be so obvious in today's networked environment
that the standard wouldn't have to say it.

I guess we could sometime ask as a DR "Is there anything in the core 
language that _prevents_ vendors from accepting CR, CR-LF, and LF all
as _newline_?"
