[section Introduction]

The Boost.Core library is a collection of core utilities. The
criteria for inclusion is that the utility component be:

* simple,
* used by other Boost libraries, and
* not dependent on any other Boost modules except Core
  itself, Config, Assert, Static Assert, or Predef.

Currently, the Core library contains:
