Hi all,

If I understand correctly, the registration macro for custom boxes
only currently handles cases where the min/max corners are class
members, not methods.  For Point adapters this is spelled out by
providing special macros with names containing GET_SET to
differentiate them from the other macros.  However, it seems that such
a feature is not present for Boxes.  This would not be a problem
except that the BOOST_GEOMETRY_REGISTER_BOX html documentation says
the MinCorner and MaxCorner parameters "should be public member or
method".  In fact I believe they must be members, and not methods.  If
I'm right about that, and because it may trip up others, I suggest
removing the "or method" clause from the documentation, and ideally
also creating a BOOST_GEOMETRY_REGISTER_BOX_GET_SET macro.

Thanks and Regards,
Jeff Trull
