Wait a minute !

Is being suggested that a library without documentation is going to be 
reviewed by Boost.  If this is true, it is simply not possible. 
Reviewing a library is a lot of effort and reviewers (or users) can't be 
expected to decipher the how the library is to be used from through the 
source.  It should not be accepted for review in this condition.
