Ah, right. Maybe try asking on the testing list sometime?

OK, I see, I'm not totally up to date on the unified initialization

BOOST_NO_CXX11_UNIFIED_INITIALIZATION_SYNTAX macro in addition to
BOOST_NO_CXX11_HDR_INITIALIZER_LIST, rather than checking the gcc
version.

No, wait until the beta is out. I was just going through the test
results to see if there was any reason not to merge.
