So you would prefer

#if BOOST_WORKAROUND(__HP_aCC, <= 33900)
    template<bool cond, typename T> struct enable_if;
#elif BOOST_WORKAROUND(__VisualAge, <= 12345) // Dummy values
    template<bool, typename T> struct enable_if;
#else
    template<bool, typename> struct enable_if;
#endif

over

template<bool cond, typename T> struct enable_if;

If that is the case, then we disagree. Do you have any reason to prefer
the first version?

Regards, Daniel
