[boost] local variable shadowing

This is a minor coding style feature request: I find local variable shadow 
warnings helpful, but when I include my favorite boost libraries (lexical 
casts, pool allocators, random numbers) I always have to do a bit of 
patching to remove the warnings within boost first. While this is pretty 
easy to do, I thought I'd check whether this could be fixed on mainline. 
So, 1) what's the process for submitting patches for this? Do I just go 
through each library maintainer?  and 2) is there any way to get a visible 
warning (the equivalent of gcc's -Wshadow) into the boost build/test 
process?

Thanks, -Chris
