The trailing underscore syntax is typically used when a library construct has semantics very similar to a language component which uses a keyword. I.e. mpl::if_ is similar to the language if, and mpl::int_ to the language int, except that mpl tools operate at compile time. In this case, I think, the semantics is sufficiently different (vector types instead of scalar), which should warrant for a distinct and descriptive names.

I appreciate what I assume Kyle was trying to do. These correspond 1:1 to the types used in OpenCL kernels, so I think he wanted the Boost.Compute typedefs to be as similar as possible. I think this approach is justified, as their meaning will be obvious to anyone familiar with OpenCL. I only meant to raise the question of how they were mangled.
