 i've been using boost.parameter extensively with boost.heap and now came
 to a
 point, that i need to raise BOOST_PARAMETER_MAX_ARITY to at least 7 in
 order
 to be able to compile it.

 i am planning to merge boost.heap into trunk in the next few days, so i
 wonder, would it be reasonable to increase the default of this value to
 e.g. 8
 (patch attached)? currently, boost.heap defines BOOST_PARAMETER_MAX_ARITY
 before including boost/parameter.hpp, but this will break, if
 boost/parameter.hpp is included before the boost.heap headers.

 it would be great, if the default would be high enough to compile all
 boost
 libraries, or could this cause any issues?
