The reason I'd like a Boost version is that I don't want to have to wait years and years to be able to use <boost/chrono.hpp> and <boost/ratio.hpp> in Boost libraries. I want to be able to use them with the compilers and standard libraries people are using today, not years from now.

Thanks Howard for providing these interesting additions with the BSL and accepting that I adapt them to Boost. Best, Vicente
