Preprocessor library is obviously an exception here, due to specifics of the
domain; it's not only the case of the component's name and header's name
that doesn't match - the names themselves doesn't match as well. 

For instance, "boost/preprocessor/cat.hpp" defines a macro named
BOOST_PP_CAT, not 'boost::preprocessor::CAT' ;). It's easy to get used to
this order of things, though, if you remember that you are dealing with
preprocessor definitions here, so, personally, I am happy with the current
convention.

Yep, ugly!
