We agree here.
Boost is a collection of libraries, many of them using generic programming.
So iff GGL is accepted into Boost, the first G and the last L are indeed 
redundant.
We've said before, we've no problems with Boost.Geometry, but didn't 
want to "claim" this too early, our library is used by users.
