4287	harmonize include protection style	Manfred Weis <manfredweis@…>	No-Maintainer	"there are different styles of encoding filenames in use in include protection
the most common style is BOOST_<capitalized filename>_HPP 

examples for deviations from that pattern are

any.hpp: 
   #ifndef BOOST_ANY_INCLUDED
thread.hpp: 
   #if !defined(BOOST_THREAD_WEK01082003_HPP)
concept_check.hpp: uses a pluralized filename
   #ifndef BOOST_CONCEPT_CHECKS_HPP
throw_exception.hpp: 
   #ifndef BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION_HPP_INCLUDED
wave.hpp:
   #if !defined(WAVE_HPP_DCA0EA51_EF5B_4BF1_88A8_461DBC5F292B_INCLUDED)

the motivation for harmonizing include protection is to be able to conclude from the filename the guarding definition; that might be useful for checking whether certain files have been included."	Bugs	closed	Boost 1.43.0	None	Boost 1.44.0	Cosmetic	wontfix
