Sure, I'll follow the process- thanks for the link!

BTW, from that link:

Adding New Defect Macros
When you name the macro, follow the BOOST_NO_SOMETHING naming convention, so
that it's obvious that this is a macro reporting a defect.

Adding New Feature Test Macros
When you need to add a macro that describes a feature that the standard does
not require, follow the convention for adding a new defect macro (above),
but call the macro BOOST_HAS_FOO

Following the case of BOOST_NO_VARIADIC_MACROS, I will name this macro
BOOST_NO_LOCAL_TYPES_AS_TEMPLATE_PARAMS and document it under the group of
"Macros that describe C++0x features not supported" (because this is a
defect macro respect to C++11 but it's a feature macro respect to C++03,
I'll name it and document it in respect to C++11).

Thanks.
