The utility section is kinda messed up. Some utilities like
enable_if are included by boost/utility.hpp yet they're documented
separately. Others, like result_of, are *not* included by
boost/utility.hpp, though the docs seem to imply it is.
in_place_factory has its own docs, but it lives in boost/utility.
compare_pointees seem to be in a limbo, and so does
aligned_storage...

As for BOOST_ASSERT, I guess there is no objection against using
it (at least, I hope there isn't --I'm using it :) It is just
that somehow the docs got unlinked.
