Does Boost have any documented policy on compiler warnings?  I, like a 
lot of people, use warning level 4 when compiling with MSVC.  I also 
usually turn on warnings as errors, but I cannot easily do that since 
many Boost libraries emit warnings at warning level 4 under MSVC9.  I 
realize that warnings aren't really standardized across compilers, but I 
would still expect a project that touts itself as "...one of the most 
highly regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the 
world." to strive for zero warnings under a commonly used setting on one 
of its official test compilers.  I have created the following tickets 
regarding warnings that are currently causing me trouble:

Thanks,
