Dave,

Apologies for not answering your question earlier. I am not sure how I 
managed to miss it. The answer is 'no', I do not think there is 
Boost.Parameter documentation missing. Unfortunately, my understanding 
was/is that to achieve that I have to resort to Boost.Parameter macros which 
I managed to avoid so far. I think I understand the non-macros part of 
Boost.Parameter. I quite like it and I am comfortable using it. 
Boost.Parameter macros seemed too complex and looked too "alien" which 
exacerbated my general dislike of macros. Please do not take it as a 
criticism of any kind. It's merely my "casual-user" impression which can 
easily be wrong as I was not prepared to spend enough time playing with 
Boost.Parameter macros.
