Yes, he was.

Boost doesn't have such a library -- the closest thing is tribool.

The question you want to ask before you propose this is can these be done in 3 
months -- most 'from the ground up' libraries for Boost take 6 months or more. 
  If you plan on going this route I highly recommend you read:

http://boost.org/more/submission_process.htm

and follow the instructions under 'Determine Interest".

Well, this one clearly isn't doable in 3 months and we also have this 
functionality asio, in the soon to be released 1.35 version of boost.  For now 
you can see docs here:

Detailed plans are good -- they will be part of what's needed for your Google 
application.
