Thank you, David.  It means that we have to always include <cmath>
beforehand whenever we include Boost.Random headers, since it contains
a line declaring "using std:pow;".  This applies even if we just
include Boost.Random headers without any instantiation of Boost.Random
class templates.  Isn't this requirement too strong for users???
