Why not 

     #include <boost/memory/scoped_ptr.hpp>
     #include <boost/memory/scoped_array.hpp>

etc., or something like this?

I am uncomfortable with placing quite a few closely related files (which, in
fact, belong to the same library) into top-level boost directory instead of
creating a separate sub-directory for the library - given that the latter, I
believe, is a practice that we explicitly decided on some time ago.
