Hmmm - if you made a boost library which implemented what you desire, 
wouldn't that become an "external library" which you could not then use?

Is the whole motivation of this proposal to work around some internal 
prohibition of "external code" imposed for some non-technical reasons 
like legal department BS or grant requirements or ???

I'm not getting the motivation here.
