Thanks for your explanation.
Unfortunately, using new names is a problem because users of library I'm
working on will mostly use stable Boost release installed from packages
available for Linux distributions they use e.g. Debian.
And those distributions mostly provide 1.33 version.
Second, those ditributions will not be updated very soon
but I'd not like to force my users to install latest Boost themself.

I have to think about it :-)

Best regards
