We haven't been allowing this for newer libraries, but it would be nice to remove it from these few existing cases too.

Ultimately meta/libraries.json in each library repository would have just one library entry.

Boost/numeric is another such library

% ls $BOOST/libs/numeric conversion index.html odeint ublas doc interval sublibs

% find . -name sublibs ./spirit/sublibs ./chrono/sublibs ./gil/sublibs

TBH, I'm not clear what the existence of the sublibs file means for GIL. The sublibs content says: "sub-directories which are libraries" No idea what would those be in GIL. Extensions? The history of gil/sublibs [1] says: "sublibs file telling regression tools that subdirs contain library tests" what confuses me even more as suddenly sublibs mean two things: - directories which are libraries - directories with library tests [1] https://github.com/boostorg/gil/commit/091c86d884395571cc4a2aa4c149f9f8f1848...
