Right, it works here with 19.34 as it did for many years. This is why I 
still stick with Boost.Log despite it being a huge burden to the 
projects where it is used.
FWIW, 19.35 broke its own MFC library for the very same reason (fixed in 
the MFC from VS 17.6-pre1 by renaming affected template argument names). 
As it seems, the handling of template argument names has ben 
strengthened in 19.35 (as it should) to the same level as e.g. gcc and 
clang. Cameron told me that he has improved a lot of things in the 
latest compilers: the first batch went live with 19.35, the next is 
scheduled for 19.36 (e.g. official support for import std;).

VS2022 update 5 is out for a week now and I am in the process of 
evaluating it with all of our active projects/codebases.
