But does it have to be abbreviated?
(I'm thinking of founding Acronymics Anonymous...)
We know it is a library - otherwise everything in Boost would have to end with an L (and STL and MPL set bad examples that we should
not follow).
Other library items have a plain name, and matching namespace - like Fusion - and a full name.
How about Boost.Access? and namespace boost::access;
Surely that name can't be taken ;-)
