Request to merge

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/78501

which just takes care of a shadowing warning on gcc.

Couple things:
(a) I just went ahead and made this change on trunk a few days ago because
I stumbled into this warning myself, searched track, and saw that it was
already reported and had a patch (indirectly) attached; in retrospect, I
apologize if I stepped on anyone's (Jeremy's?) toes, and so I ask: Is there
a formal or informal protocol for applying relatively simple patches like
this one?
(b) Along the same lines, assuming permission is granted and given (a),
should I be merging this to release, or should that fall to the library
maintainer?

Thanks,

- Jeff
