Yeh! Lets hear it for 3! :-)

If I remember correctly Borland may have used an indent of 3 back in the 
days of Turbo C++, and I've used it ever since.

However, given that this is such a personal issue, I would rather that Boost 
did not enforce a common standard here, provided
boost authors don't use anything too unreasonable (8 char indent or 
something).
