[Style] Defining inline functions in header

Is it OK, Boost style-wise, to put definitions of inline functions outside
of any namespace blocks?  They would probably go at the end of the header
file.  A problem is that some compilers can only do this for definite
functions or methods, they can't handle functions that have a template part.
The template functions have to be defined in their owning namespace or
class.  That problem argues for keeping definitions for definite functions
in their owner's declaration for consistency.

Opinions?
