As you would suspect I do not agree on that approach...
This must really be decided case by case ...
f.ex. the boost noncopyalbe is very simple, but why would you want to
implement it for yourself?
(same with boost::next and boost::prior)
This always depend on what you are going to do, and if there is a
suitable boost::lib or if that lib in question is overkill, not the
right thing, or just fits perfectly.
