This makes sense. 

Would it be to confusing to add 

boost/tuple.hpp : include all below

boost/tuple/tuple.hpp : basic tuple template with accessor functions etc.
boost/tuple/tuple_io.hpp : streaming operators
boost/tuple/tuple_comparison.hpp : < > <= >= == !=

(Confusing in the sense that boost/tuple/tuple.hpp and boost/tuple.hpp 
would include different files)

Or would it be better to go to:

boost/tuple.hpp : include all below

boost/tuple/tuple_basic.hpp : basic tuple template with accessor functions etc.
boost/tuple/tuple_io.hpp : streaming operators
boost/tuple/tuple_comparison.hpp : < > <= >= == !=

and leave 

boost/tuple/tuple.hpp in as a deprecated header?
