[boost] Forward Declaring Headers

It seems that one of the most common requests concerning the standard
headers is whether there are forward declaring headers for <string>,
<vector>, etc as there is for <ios>.

What does the list think about establishing this as a practice for Boost
headers? Setting a precedent by defining headers with significant
template content and/or dependencies to have a <*fwd> counterpart?
