Yes, there should be documentation for aligned_storage. I never got 
around to it, unfortunately. I'll add it to my list of things to do.

One issue though-- there is a disparity between boost::aligned_storage 
and std::tr1::aligned_storage. Namely, the latter is much like 
boost::type_with_alignment whereas the former provides usable aligned 
storage of the specified size.

Before I write any documentation, it would be useful to decide whether 
the existing behavior (or naming) of boost::aligned_storage should 
change. Input?
