boost size

I acknowledge that Boost is a great library. Great interfaces, stability, design and what not. Great people behind ...

But think a little:

#include <boost/format.hpp>
using g++ and boost 1.37 yields literally
  • 147 includes
  • 15899 lines of source code!
  • 509257 bytes of source code!
Madness!
