It's reasonable but I'm currently working on a new library that will
support older compilers so I won't be following it. I think this kind
of thing is up to the developer. But feel free to suggest a patch for
the guidelines. They live at:
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/website/public_html/beta/development/header.html
I'll apply it if it seems decent and no one objects.
