Hi Dmitriy,
I commited code and tests on the last day for new libraries (Dec 20th) but the 
commit didn't appear in the repository. I didn't realise that my commit 
required prior approvals (I later re-read the guide and found this requirement) 
so it could be rejected by svn admin. I wrote to Beman few days later but got 
no reply.

As we're getting closer to C++0x with lambdas, scope_exit becomes less 
attractive because one can write something like:

using boost::multi_index::detail; 
scope_guard g = make_guard( [&a, b]() -> void { /* … */ } );
