[boost] compressed_pair breaks with multiple instances of empty types

I've been abusing compressed_pair to build a compressed_tuple.  I'm pretty sure this bug can be fixed using intermediate types on the hierarchy.

struct Empty1{};
struct Empty2{};
int i=sizeof( boost::compressed_pair<Empty1, boost::compressed_pair<Empty1, Empty2> >);  //boom int j=sizeof( boost::compressed_pair<Empty1, Empty2>); //ok int k=sizeof( boost::compressed_pair<Empty1, Empty1>); //ok int h=sizeof( boost::compressed_pair<std::string, boost::compressed_pair<std::string, Empty2> >);  //ok
