Description

Hi,
I believe most if not all of the algorithms in `boost` are `constexpr` if the compiler supports it and C++14 or greater is used. (yes?)

That's not indicated in the docs, as far as I can tell. I recently implemented a couple myself because I assumed the `boost` ones were not, from the docs; and at the time I didn't go look in the source code to see that they actually were. (yeah, I was being an idiot)

Research direction

Review the Boost.Algorithm documentation and compare its algorithm entries with the C++14 constexpr support described in the issue. Done means the relevant documentation clearly indicates which algorithms support constexpr, without implying unsupported coverage.
