[boost] Test tools - BOOST_MESSAGE may not include << endl

I was surprised (but not too disappointed) to find that:

int i = 99; // Extend message using operator<<
BOOST_MESSAGE("BOOST_MESSAGE"<< ", i == " << i << endl);

fails to compile (MSVC 7.1)

message is

error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of
type 'overloaded-function' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

BOOST_MESSAGE("BOOST_MESSAGE"<< ", i == " << i); // without << endl

works fine as expected.

Is this a bug or just a feature worth documenting?
