I think this could definitively be a good proposal. I don't know personally
about that but from what you describe, it looks like a potential addition
to Boost and, for sure, a nice, GSoC project.

Can you write your proposal on
https://github.com/boostorg/boost/wiki/Boost-Google-Summer-of-Code-2018
please
Thanks
David
