With pleasure:

NAMESPACE+CONTAINER NAME

Current:

namespace boost{
  namespace indexed_sets{
    template<...>
    class indexed_set;
  }
  using indexed_sets::indexed_set;
}

Proposed:

namespace boost{
  namespace multi_index{
    template<...>
    class indexed_container;
  }
  using multi_index::indexed_container;
}

INDEX NAMING

Current:

typedef indexed_set<
  employee,
  index_list<
    unique<identity<employee> >,
    non_unique<member<employee,int,&employee:age> >,
    sequenced<>
  >
> employee_set;

Proposed:

typedef indexed_container<
  employee,
  index_list<
    ordered_unique<identity<employee> >,
    ordered_non_unique<member<employee,int,&employee:age> >,
    sequenced<>
  >
> employee_set;

NTH_INDEX_TYPE AND FAMILIY

Current:

  typedef index_type<indexed_t,some_tag>::type index_t;
  typedef nth_index_type<indexed_t,n>::type index_t2;
  typedef indexed_t::index_type<some_tag>::type index_t3;
  typedef indexed_t::nth_index_type<n>::type index_t4;
  typedef iterator_type<indexed_t,some_tag>::type iterator_t;
  typedef nth_iterator_type<indexed_t,n>::type iterator_t2;
  etc.

Proposed:

  typedef index<indexed_t,some_tag>::type index_t;
  typedef nth_index<indexed_t,n>::type index_t2;
  typedef indexed_t::index<some_tag>::type index_t3;
  typedef indexed_t::nth_index<n>::type index_t4;
  typedef index_iterator<indexed_t,some_tag>::type iterator_t;
  typedef nth_index_iterator<indexed_t,n>::type iterator_t2;
  etc.

UPDATE MEMFUN

Current:

  employee_set es;
  es.update(it,new_value);

Proposed:

  employee_set es;
  es.replace(it,new_value);

Best,
