Hopefully this is not too late to be counted as a proper mini-review.
The test suite for the library fails miserably on VisualAge C++ 11.1, as can be seen in the logs at [1], which doesn't bode well for a newly written library aimed for inclusion in Boost.
The test suite fails similarly on SunStudio 12.1 on Solaris 10, with the results seen in [2].
As a comparison, the tests for assign_v1 passes with flying colours with VisualAge. Having the replacement library support way fewer platforms in Boost sounds very strange to me, and is alone grounds for not including the library.
It's unrealistic to expect a library to support such platforms before it has been added to the regression tests. Most of us don't have direct access to them.
