In this case you should probably change the test. To be honest I have
the same problem that I need something similar to
BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL_COLLECTIONS which checks a range and creates
compressed output. I tried using custom predicate support
(http://www.boost.org/libs/test/doc/components/test_tools/custom_predicate_support.html)
but it is complicated ...

Using BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE in a loop sounds just wrong to me.
