I suppose you're not going to completely fix what I wrote about boost::hash
in TR1.
I was unclear about this section. What I was trying to say is that a
documentation of Boost.Hash should be changed. TR1 should just emphasize
major differences and have a link.

Let's redirect Boost.Hash issues to Daniel James:

1. Original post http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2005/09/94385.php
2. Adding new has_value may have side effects, for example, (a) hash<T> may
compile for not customized type T although T doesn't necesarily have
properly defined equality function; or (b) it may introduce overload
resolution ambiguities, in worst case, hash<type_from_6_3_3_1> may stop
working.
3. A link to books.hpp leads to books.cpp (note h and c)
http://www.boost.org/doc/html/hash/custom.html. Currently, I can't access
cvs and fix it myself.
