No for the following reason:

If your vendor supplied version of <utility> already declares the TR1 
components inside namespace std::tr1, the there is no way that Boost can do 
the same thing.

If you really want the Boost versions then *use the Boost versions 
directly*.

I guess we could get into namespace renaming:

#define tr1 boost_tr1

something like STLport does, but lets see if there's a real demand first.
