In keeping with the MSVC macro, I've called this "feature"
BOOST_BCC_NONTYPE_TEMPLATE_PARAMETERS,
which implies that non-type template parameters are supported by bcc,
but in an incomplete or incorrect way (just as VC6 has member templates,
but they don't work in every situation).  Calling it bcc instead of BCB is
slightly more accurate, as it applies to the compiler, and not the
development environment (some people just use the command line
compiler alone).  I think it should be added to
boost/config/compilers/borland.hpp, but I don't know what the procedure
is for suggesting such additions.
