Technically, this is a possibility. Practically, I don't think this 
would be good for Boost.Parameter users. The forks will have to have 
separate interfaces to not clash. Then there are interoperability issues.

No, if we definitely don't want to preserve C++03 compatibility then 
let's just switch to C++11 in (the only) Boost.Parameter and declare 
downstream libraries C++11 as well.
