I didn't know about BOOST_STRONG_TYPEDEF's existence until Caleb 
mentioned it. When I looked for documentation, I found it was part of 
the Serialization library. Perhaps the documentation belongs to another 
section (this also goes for static_warning, smart_cast, etc.).

(I didn't check the CVS, I checked the 1.32 release; sorry if it's 
already fixed)

Boost contains many useful things under the hood ;).

Apropos, some classes I use are from boost/detail (e.g., atomic_count). 
I feel guilty having to write "detail" when using them... will they 
become part of public boost some day?

You mean something like Matthew Wilson's (www.stlsoft.com) true_typedef?
