Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries. A large part
of Boost is provided as C++ template code which is resolved entirely at
compile-time without linking. This package aims to provide the most useful
subset of Boost libraries for template use among CRAN package. By placing
these libraries in this package, we offer a more efficient distribution
system for CRAN as replication of this code in the sources of other packages
is avoided.
