I'm not sure on how to address this conundrum :o(. So far, I wrote an awk
script that automates the name convention transition and puts namespace
boost where it has to be. But it would not be elegant at all if Loki as part
of boost would define and use facilities similar to boost's. If anyone has
ideas on how to proceed, please let me know.

I am looking forward to hear about better solutions. For the record, I made
a very offensive comment about the preprocessor already :o).

These are interesting points.
