Some find two too small to visually align vertically, but four limits indentation depth, so we've used three for years. (Gasp! Yes, three isn't a power or multiple of two, but it works well.)
Yeh! Lets hear it for 3! :-) If I remember correctly Borland may have used an indent of 3 back in the days of Turbo C++, and I've used it ever since. However, given that this is such a personal issue, I would rather that Boost did not enforce a common standard here, provided boost authors don't use anything too unreasonable (8 char indent or something).
