Interesting! I agree that Boost libraries that have synergies should 
call them out in their docs. The idea of a central location on Boost.org 
dedicated to the whiz-bang productivity boosters (pun intended) might be 
a good grabber, too. I'm a big believer in the "hello world" example -- 
all good documentation should have one. Why not Boost.org as well?
