[boost] boost::is_convertible failure on abstract classes

Hello,

The code below does not compile, when, I believe, it
should. Compiler says that you can't instantiate
abstact class.

I'm really surprised - it is trivial use case, but I
did not find a problem report. Do I miss something?

Regards,
Alexander

--------------- sample code ------------
#include <boost/static_assert.hpp>
#include <boost/utility/enable_if.hpp>
#include <boost/type_traits.hpp>

struct Data
{
  virtual foo() =0;
};

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
 
BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT((boost::is_convertible<Data,Data>::value));

  return 0;
}
--------------- sample code ------------
