I sent a message to Terje Slettebø, whose e-mail address was in the 
documentation, and he graciously responded. It is clearly up to him and 
Tobias Schwinger whether or not they want to revive their work on the 
CTL and submit it to Boost, but I will use their library as is in the 
sandbox and see if it fits my immediate needs, as well as looking at 
Frederick Bron's work.

For my own purposes, discovering whether a particular user-defined type 
implements a particular operator would be very valuable,and any library 
which has such functionality would be a great addition to Boost.
