Hi Barend,

I'm not sure I understand.
Currently, boost/geometry.hpp includes this:

#include <boost/geometry/domains/gis/io/wkt/wkt.hpp>

as well as other IO headers:

#include <boost/geometry/io/dsv/write.hpp>

So, I aimed to replace them with single:

#include <boost/geometry/io/io.hpp>

which would include all released IO formats:

#include <boost/geometry/io/dsv/dsv.hpp>
#include <boost/geometry/io/wkt/wkt.hpp>

What shall I do?

Yes.

Yes, and I actually aimed to remove these deprecated header
before folks will start using it widely :)

Please, correct me wherever I'm wrong.
