My point was that warnings are non-portable constructions made up by 
compiler makers.  They can have arbitrary trigger methods.  This would 
pose difficulty in trying to create one deliberately.

Also, some people don't believe in warnings.  Compilers usually provide 
ways to turn them off.  This capability would have to be added to 
BOOST_STATIC_WARNING.
