Reducing boost dependencies with C++ modernization. It's pure hygiene, not user-facing, breaks no API.
Before submitting

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
What this PR does
A few commits of hygiene:
implicit_cast, when copy-initialization(Vertex u = expr;)requires an implicit conversion exercising the exact same constraintboost::implicit_castenforces.Motivation
