There is such a feature, it has been added 6 days ago...

feature.feature c++-template-depth
     :
         [ numbers.range 128 1024 : 128 ]
         [ numbers.range  20 1000 :  10 ]
         #   Maximum template instantiation depth guaranteed
         # for ANSI/ISO C++ conforming programs.
         17
     :
         incidental propagated ;

As a side note, this makes me wonder what the default value for this 
feature actually is? 128? And could the first range perhaps be modified 
to 64 1024 : 64?

But anyway, I think that adding c++-template-depth=65 (Is 65 enough? 64 
is not, 128 is for sure.) to the integer test is the best solution for 
this, provided that we add support for this feature to the acc and 
hp_cxx toolsets, which seems fairly easy.

What do you think?
