Is there really an aversion to all things Boost here?

Some things are often obviously better done with it.  For example,  
see the boost operator header:

http://www.boost.org/libs/utility/operators.htm

It's pretty tame as boost headers go:  It's short and it doesn't  
depend on the MPL (or anything as mind-bending).  And if you're going  
to write an operator function, it seems like you should at least  
explain to yourself why you think your approach is better.
