Look at BOOST_VMD_IS_EMPTY(...).

I did not attempt to use BOOST_VMD_IS_EMPTY(...) on 
BOOST_VMD_DATA_SIZE(...) to return 0 for empty variadic data because of 
the innate flaw in BOOST_VMD_IS_EMPTY, for which there is no workaround. 
You can obviously use it as you wish, for your own macro testing the 
size of variadic data. Also, for VC8, I could not implement a 
BOOST_VMD_IS_EMPTY(...) taking variadic data and had to settle for a 
BOOST_VMD_IS_EMPTY(param) instead.

I did use BOOST_VMD_IS_EMPTY on my new BOOST_VMD_ASSERT macros while 
documenting the flaw in BOOST_VMD_IS_EMPTY.
