I'm actively working on the docs, updated daily at
http://boost-sandbox.sf.net/libs/accumulators. In particular, have a
look at http://tinyurl.com/dpzmt.
Basically, you'll use named parameters from the Boost.Parameters
library. Have a look at how order_impl is implemented to accept the
cache_size named parameter.
I need to add an Extensibility section to the docs that describes this
in detail.
