Haoyu,

not being involved in this, I naturally cannot comment on details, but from
a distance this looks like very good project. You have taken on a clearly
delineated task and then completed it to the degree of trunk-ready. This
is a very concrete improvement, and I'm sure many Boost users will benefit
from it.

Kudos!
