One suggestion I liked that came up earlier was using all.hpp, for example boost/ptr_container/all.hpp.
All seems a bit redundant, the standard is just <lib>.hpp AFAIK.
Redundancy occurs with boost/ptr_container/ptr_container.hpp, not boost/ptr_container/all.hpp. Using all.hpp means that all libraries use the same header name and the library name isn't repeated. "all.hpp" is as short as you can get and still mean "give me everything."
Doesn't boost/ptr_container.hpp mean the same?
As another example, boost/thread.hpp (catch-all) is easily confused with boost/thread/thread.hpp (boost::thread class), whereas boost/thread/all.hpp is not. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkrhwPoACgkQ5vihyNWuA4XWsgCcDwBtb7S9CyMJckOay+w8Ft4r b/cAoM1nVkNtCtu+mea2cFS4eR+r5rPE =u2qF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
