C++03 mandated operator void *() in iostreams. C++11 mandates explicit operator bool(), which has been implemented in VS 2013 Preview.

See http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2013/06/28/c-11-14-stl-features-fixes-and-breaking-changes-in-vs-2013.aspx for a description of the compiler and STL changes in VS 2013, some of which will affect Boost.
