Hello all,

I turns out the Boost inspect program reports the following:

boost/contract/check.hpp:
    (line 102) Apple macro clash: check
boost/contract/detail/type_traits/mirror.hpp:
    (line 29) Apple macro clash: check
http://boost.cowic.de/rc/docs-inspect-develop.html#contract

Are these a real issues? Boost.Contract uses 'check' as:

    boost::contract::check c = boost::contract::function().precondition(...);

I could of course renamed that to 'check_' but it looks ugly...

Will a class named check in boost::contract namespace really clash
with Apple defined names? Or this only an issue for ancient Apple
compilers and I no longer have to worry about it?

Thanks.
