You're right. I find it difficult to find the headers that I need,
too, as each Boost library seems to have a different place for this
information. This is definitely something that can be improved.

Often the headers are listed in a "Tutorial", "Introduction", or
"Reference" section, but there are no set rules. In the case of the
pointer container library, the headers are listed on a separate page
titled "Library headers":
