There is basic rules set

http://www.boost.org/development/requirements.html
http://www.boost.org/development/header.html

Rather, because that is Boost requirement (as per the rules).

Some Boost libraries extended the rules and developed more specific guidelines,
for example https://github.com/boostorg/geometry/wiki/Guidelines-for-Developers
