Cool! I'll keep it in mind for when I start Boost.Contract profiling
and optimization. It probably makes sense to profile and optimize on a
couple of pp and compilers anyways (because most of the pp and
template meta-programming code will likely perform differently on
different platforms) so maybe Wave, GCC, and MSVC...

Thanks.
