Well, you're right this global nth_index<...> and similar metafunctions are not much
publicized: they are only documented in the reference, and in a little noticeable way:
look for "// multi_index_container associated global class templates:" at

http://www.boost.org/libs/multi_index/doc/reference/multi_index_container.html#multi_index_container

I haven't given these global metafunctions more publicity so as to not confuse
readers, given that the nested versions ought to be enough in most cases --except
for broken compilers like MSVC 6.0 and, seemingly, low versions of GCC.
