Re: [boost] Status of BOOST_ASSERT?

BOOST_ASSERT is documented at http://www.boost.org/libs/utility/assert.html, but it isn't mentioned or linked to in the library index, programmers guidelines, or utility index.

If Boost libraries are really supposed to use BOOST_ASSERT, seems like we need to better integrate it into our docs by mentioning it and linking to its docs on the above pages.

I looked at the archives a bit, but didn't see any definitive answer as to whether or not we had decided to use BOOST_ASSERT rather than plain assert.

IMO it would be a good thing if all libraries used BOOST_ASSERT internally: it gives the user more choice about whether assertions are on/off in Boost as opposed to their own code, and/or the std lib. Just my 2c, John.
