With "sequence arguments support" you can do even better:

    boost::iterator_range<boost::tokenizer<>::iterator>
    split(std::string const& source, std::string const& delimiters =
"\f\n\r\t");
    
    //... 
    std::string sentence("foo bar zap");
    boost::vector<std::string> words(boost::split(sentence));
