   Hmmm... seems the call-locally rule forwards all of its 9 arguments 
to  the call-in rule. However, call-in rule first takes an additional 
'module name' parameter that eats up one of the 9 parameter spaces 
allowed by Boost Jam so the final '10th' parameter gets dropped silently.

   I'll patch the call-locally rule now to use only 8 parameters passed 
to it and add a comment as to why this is. If anyone sees a way to make 
call-in take 9 additional parameters instead of 8 - just holler. At 
first glance I do not.

   Best regards,
