Shouldn't the default arity be set to be big enough for all Boost
libraries instead?
Wouldn't several non-overriding defaults be a pain for users? Should
the biggest of the defaults from any Boost library should be included
first by the users?
Or is it OK with successive redefinition (if made larger?) of the arity?
(Hopefully someone can make sense of this..)
