Useful information for these extra VS macros can be found in this 
graphic:

Each of the missing C++98 (yes, some of these are still missing), 
C++11 and C++14 features in Visual Studio are listed, along with when 
in priority order they will be implemented. It would be a short step 
from this list to a suitable list of Boost config macro names.
