Hi Antony,

there's no way to set a layout - it's sort of global property at present. Of course, you can
look at boostcpp.tag, at

        https://github.com/boostorg/boost/blob/master/boostcpp.jam#L117

and reuse it, with possible factoring, or create your own tag function that would
call common.format-name appropriately.

HTH,
