This is somewhat discomforting. Isn't there a policy for placing
headers in the root boost directory? Can anyone simply place whetever
he/she wants there? The files above look like small utilities. As
such, they are not fast track reviewed, AFAICT.

That goes the same for the boost namespace. IMO, we need a clear
policy on what goes there. Lest, we'll have it filled up and
polluted with lotsa stuff before we know it.
