I think multi_indexed_container (or multi_index_container) would be a
better name. A long name doesn't hurt here since
the container will take some lines to setup with typedef etc anyway.

Then the class could be in the boost namespace and there could be a
helper namespace, index, which stored the index_list, unique etc.

This would make the setup of the container look quite good IMO:

typedef multi_indexed_container<
  employee,
  index::index_list<
    index::ordered_unique<index::identity<employee> >,
    index::ordered_non_unique<index::member<employee,int,&employee:age> >,
    index::sequenced<>
  >
> employee_set;

Before I wasn't sure where member, identity etc came from.
