As an alternative to all this, one could expect a library author to compile
a summary of the issues and controversies brought during the review (at
least the most interesting/relevant ones) and put it in the docs under
section "Design Discussion". But I am not sure if this would be polite to
actually expect that from the authors. They are already putting enormous
effort and offer their free time to design and document the library, and
undergo the difficult process of Boost Review. Some libraries do that,
though.
