Yes.  There is some inconsistency between how the library uses two defines:
BOOST_TYPEOF_COMPLIANT and BOOST_TYPEOF_EMULATION.  One of them (I think
BOOST_TYPEOF_COMPLIANT) needs to be removed.  I will fix it sometime soon.

My editor is currently setup to insert spaces instead of tabs, but we
probably have some left from the past.  I'll fix this.
