When trying to use the foreach library, whether running it tests or 
trying to build quickbook which uses the foreach macro, I am seeing from 
different compilers:

gcc-4.9.2

Does anybody know what is causing this error ? I can't seem to proceed 
in building documentation with quickbook until I can get foreach 
working. I pulled the latest foreach from the master branch and ran b2 
headers but still the problem occurs.
