[boost] stl_concept_covering.cpp terminally broken in 1.33.x ?

Looking at the regressions for 1.33.1 stl_concept_covering.cpp seems not to 
compile with any compiler at present.

Looking at the source there is one obvious error:

out = std::fill_n(out, n, value);

But fill_n returns void !

Then there are lots of preprocessor sections along the lines of:

#if defined(__GNUC__)
typedef less_than_op_first_archetype<> FT;
typedef less_than_op_second_archetype<> T;
#elif defined(__KCC)
// The KAI version of this uses a one-argument less-than function
// object.
typedef less_than_comparable_archetype<> T;
typedef convertible_to_archetype<T> FT;
#endif
forward_iterator_archetype<FT> fi;
T value(dummy_cons);
fi = std::lower_bound(fi, fi, value);

Which can clearly never compiler on any compiler other than GCC or KCC.

However, fixing these issues still doesn't get the code compiling on any 
platform I have access to.  Some of these will be std lib conceptual errors, 
but *something* should compile this source, otherwise what's the point?
