It is not really reasonable to await from a user to always type boost::algorithm::string::trim.
Maybe it could help a little bit to replace 'algorithm' by 'algo' and 'string' by 'str'.
IMHO, also shorter namespaces like 'boost::filesystem' have the problem of beeing too long to be used on every access. Long typenames like boost::filesystem::directory_iterator have a very high capability to make the code unreadable very quickly.
What's wrong with namespace fs = boost::filesystem; ? It's not like a template, where we don't have a good aliasing mechanism. Doug
