Dave already said this is not true, but I'd like to emphasize this even
more. It is a good idea to allow users to add stuff to namespace boost,
provided what they are adding is overloads to functions, or
specializations of class templates, that were meant to be overloaded or
specialized. This is one of the safer ways to provide customization
points.

Cheers,
Jeremy
