You've got a valid point here. But I cannot turn your
suggestion into a reasonably  short name in the
spirit of Boost.MultiIndex. Boost Multi-index Containers
Library? This is too long to be scattered through the docs
the way Boost.IndexedSet appears now. Shortened for easier
reference to BMCL or BMICL? Maybe we should retain
Boost.MultiIndex and use the fuller "Boost Multi-index
Containers Library" at the header and preliminary
paragraphs?

I'm really lost here, naming issues are so nasty.
Looking fwd to knowing your ideas.
