Oh, that's my forgetfullness. Disabling expression templates
does the trick.

Here is another weird one:

When using BOOST_TEST_CLOSE_FRACTION with
cpp_dec_float and et_off, I get a lot of ambiguous name
errors for enable_if and disable_if in multiprecision.
It seems as though the same symbols enable_if and
disable_if reside in both the namespace boost as well
as deeper in the boost::test namespaces.

Is this a known problem? Am I doing something wrong?

Sincerely, Chris.
