I wish that were the case.  This simple program compiles, but does not
link, because the implementation is not in the header (it looks like the
implementation is in a .cpp file in the libs/random directory).

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/nondet_random.hpp>

int main(int, char *[])
{
  boost::random_device rng;
  std::cout << "Random number is " << rng() << std::endl;
  return 0;
}
